How do I install MySQL 4.1 on Debian Etch / Debian 4.0?

Hi Folks,

I ran into that problem and here is a quite easy solution, thanks to www.mytso.net:

 

  •  edit /etc/apt/sources.list
    add the following line:
    deb http://debian.mytso.net/etch /
  • edit /etc/apt/preferences
    add the following lines:

    Package: mysql-server-4.1
    Pin: version 4.1.11b-etch*
    Pin-Priority: 1001
  • aptitude update
  • aptitude install mysql-server-4.1 mysql-client-4.1 mysql-common-4.1 libmysqlclient14
 
That´s it, enjoy!
