dpkg 1.14.31 is shipped with lenny, libmysqlclient18 requires dpkg 1.15.4

[Ignacio Nin (ignacio-nin)]

The dependency is on either dpkg >= 1.15.4 or install-info, issuing apt-get -f install will fix it by installing install-info.

[Bassam Tabbara (bassamtabbara)]

install-info does not seem to be available on lenny:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/install-info

its only available on sid, squeeze and lenny-backports.

We are unable to install percona5.5 on lenny.

Can not reproduce with 5.5.12-20.3. Marking as Resolved.

I also confirm this problem. Debian Lenny 32-bit:

apt-get -f install libmysqlclient18

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  libmysqlclient18: Depends: dpkg (>= 1.15.4) but 1.14.31 is to be installed or
                             install-info but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

[Ignacio Nin (ignacio-nin)]

Solved in 5.5.13-20.4 for lenny. Compiled for lenny avoiding the install-info or dpkg 1.15 dependency.

libmysqlclient18 installs with dpkg 1.14.31 and no install-info installed.
