Comment 10 for bug 343870

I am experiencing this bug in Jaunty.

I would like to try installing the Debian upstream replacement for libmysqlclient15off as referenced in the bug:

http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mysql-dfsg-5.0/libmysqlclient15off_5.0.51a-24+lenny2+spu1_amd64.deb

I tried installing this with dpkg, but later Ubuntu's package manager upgraded some packages and subsequently went on to delete mysql, apache, and a bunch of packages that depend on mysql from my computer! Apparently since the version number for the newly install libmysqlclient15off was 5.0.51a-24+lenny2+spu1 and the "current" Ubuntu version is 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 it thought it needed to remove the one I installed and upgrade it. I'm not sure why it also deleted all these other packages without telling me first.

Does anyone know how to properly install this version of libmysqlclient15off so I can test to see if it fixes the bug without messing up Ubuntu? Thanks.
