Package: mysql-dfsg-4.1
Severity: normal

The mysql-{server,common,client}-4.1 packages do not satisfy packages
that depend on mysql-{server,common,client} even when the version
number is acceptable.  For example, wordpress dependends on
mysql-server (>= 4.0.20-8), but installing wordpress causes
mysql-{server,common,client}-4.1 to be removed in favor of
mysql-{server,common,client}, which are at version 4.0.23.

I don't claim to know the best solution, but it seems to me that if
the 4.1 pkgs provided the regular pkgs but with version number 4.1,
then all would be well. Perhaps if mysql-{server,common,client} become
virtual pkgs, then they can't have version numbers -- I don't know the
system well enough, but I do think that installing wordpress should
not force me to downgrade mysql unless I take special action.
