Hi,

My server is debian (sarge) with ispconfig of course :) . I'm running both php4 and php5 according this how to http://www.howtoforge.com/apache2_with_php5_and_php4 so both php4 and php5 are installed (upgraded) from dotdeb.org.

But now when I want to do upgrade, I get this:
apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
mysql-client mysql-server php5-cgi php5-cli php5-common php5-curl php5-dev php5-gd php5-gmp php5-imap php5-ldap php5-mcrypt php5-mhash
php5-ming php5-mysql php5-odbc php5-pspell php5-snmp php5-sybase php5-tidy
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 20 not upgraded.
Packages are kept back, but dist-upgrade looks Ok:
apt-get -d dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Calculating Upgrade... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
php5-mysqli php5-pdo-mysql php5-pdo-sqlite
The following NEW packages will be installed:
apache-common libapache-mod-php5 libmysqlclient15off libtool lsb-base mysql-client-5.0 mysql-server-5.0 shtool
The following packages will be upgraded:
mysql-client mysql-server php5-cgi php5-cli php5-common php5-curl php5-dev php5-gd php5-gmp php5-imap php5-ldap php5-mcrypt php5-mhash
php5-ming php5-mysql php5-odbc php5-pspell php5-snmp php5-sybase php5-tidy
20 upgraded, 8 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/46.2MB of archives.
After unpacking 89.3MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Download complete and in download only mode

If you notice also mysql-server is going to be upgraded from ver. 4.0.24-10sarge2 to 5.0_5.0.26-0.dotdeb.

So my question is, is it save to upgrade mysql-server?
How stable and secure are dotdeb packages?
Anyone tried this?

So my question is, is it save to upgrade mysql-server? This is always risky. Usually there are no problems, but you never know...
How stable and secure are dotdeb packages?Never had problems with these, so I think they are very stable.
