I upgraded to version 4.1.12 on RELENG_5 without problem.  Just a
thought: what about using GNU readline?


readline-5.0 was installed via ports when i installed 4.1.11 some time
ago. i guess this is the port you are referring to.


Yes it is, in particular since i saw this post yesterday at:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2005/05/10/0018.html
It seems not to be the case here, though.

Maybe can you try to upgrade it one more time with a fresh ports tree,
using the -r and -R options of portupgrade just to try to reinstall all
those packages depending on and required by mysql41-server?


since i uninstalled mysql yesterday, i would presume i'm not able to
upgrade or such using portupgrade. too bad i deinstalled it before
trying with -R option (i only tried -arv).


You can reinstall it using one of the following:
 # portinstall -rR mysql41-server
 # portupgrade -rRN mysql41-server


all of these commands give me what i expected (since i deinstalled it and ran 'make clean' yesterday):

** No such installed package or port: mysql41-server


i'll try installing it with WITH_LINUXTHREADS=yes USE_GNU_READLINE=yes
together just for the fun of it.


I don't know about linuxthreads on 4.X, but GNU readline is a dependancy
if FreeBSD version is <5.  Furthermore, i don't think USE_GNU_READLINE is
a valid build option in the ports tree.  Nevertheless, you can try:
 # portinstall -rR -m 'WITH_LINUXTHREADS=yes' mysql41-server


as the commands above, the command you suggested gave me:

** No such installed package or port: mysql41-server

this is all quite strange as i didn't tweak my old 4.1.11 installation at all. wouldn't this give many users the same problem? i'm running a generic kernel with patches provided/installed by security/freebsd-update/.
