apt-get update doesn't help,

more information -- wget http://ourdelta.org/deb/pool/etch/ourdelta-sail/mysql-server_5.0.67-d6ourdelta-sail15_all.deb

and dpkg -i

worked, so the 90Kb that the repo thinks it should be is wrong.

===

I lied -- the installation doesn't work, we just thought it did because we didn't realize it didn't overwrite the file.

This page:

http://ourdelta.org/deb/pool/etch/ourdelta/

shows these files:

 mysql-server-5.0_5.0.67-d6ourdelta15_amd64.deb 15-Oct-2008 23:38 26M
 mysql-server-5.0_5.0.67-d6ourdelta15_i386.deb 15-Oct-2008 23:14 25M
 mysql-server_5.0.67-d6ourdelta15_all.deb 15-Oct-2008 23:38 54K

so for some reason, apt-get install mysql-server was installing mysql-server_5.0.67-d6ourdelta15_all.deb instead of the right package....the sources.lst was done with:

wget -O- http://ourdelta.org/deb/ourdelta.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://ourdelta.org/deb/sources/etch-ourdelta-sail.list \
-O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ourdelta.list

and cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ourdelta.list is

# OurDelta repository for Debian 4.0 "Etch" binary packages.
#
deb http://ourdelta.org/deb etch ourdelta-sail

which matches

http://ourdelta.org/deb/sources/etch-ourdelta-sail.list

(sorry for the craziness, but this is me being the middle person for a client who wanted to install it himself. :) )

===

and finally...the problem really is:

http://ourdelta.org/debian says:
Packages

mysql-server
mysql-server-5.0
mysql-common-5.0
libmysqlclient15off
mysql-client-5.0
libmysqlclient15-dev
---------------------------------------

but mysql-server is like a meta-package of 55kb that doesn't do anything really.

You should either make that really really really clear, or make it really really really clear that mysql-server-5.0 is the package you want to install if you want the ourdelta mysqld server.

mysql-server depends on mysql-server-5.0. So when you install it, it will also install mysql-server-5.0.

Did your client have mysql-server-5.0 installed already?

In that case, a simple 'aptitude upgrade' would suffice, as our packages have higher version numbers.

Hi Sheeri.

Below is what Peter notes.

Yes, mysql-server 5.0.62 was installed previously, and doing an 'aptitude upgrade' tried to give the i386 packages, unfortunately.

We ended up downloading the files from
http://ourdelta.org/deb/pool/etch/ourdelta/

and installing them directly, which worked.

What is the output of "dpkg --print-architecture" on that machine?
