Hello.

Add to /etc/apt/sources.list

#Debian backports
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main

or,

#DOTDEB.
deb http://packages.tribal-dolphin.be/ stable all
deb-src http://packages.tribal-dolphin.be/ stable all

Then:

apt-get update
apt-get install mysql-server-5.0

You can see the list of packages at http://www.dotdeb.org/

I suggest uninstall all the packages of MySQL 4 before proceding to
install mysql-server-5.0

Regards,

Alvaro
