Hi Daniel, We really need to put some instructions prominently on the download page for installing the .debs. I have seen users having big problems installing them. Just something like `dpkg --install *.deb` does not work at all :-( I actually had to spend like 15 minutes sorting out exactly how to install it, many users would have given up. Here are the commands that I found will work on Debian 5 amd64 (hopefully other .deb distros will be similar): sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libdbi-perl libdbd-mysql-perl psmisc sudo dpkg --install mysql-common_5.1.42-mariadb73_all.deb sudo dpkg --install libmariadbclient16_5.1.42-mariadb73_amd64.deb libmysqlclient16_5.1.42-mariadb73_amd64.deb mariadb-client_5.1.42-mariadb73_all.deb mariadb-client-5.1_5.1.42-mariadb73_amd64.deb mariadb-server_5.1.42-mariadb73_all.deb mariadb-server-5.1_5.1.42-mariadb73_amd64.deb Also, as soon as OurDelta has the 5.1.42 repositories up, we need a strong warning against manually installing the .debs, strongly suggesting the OurDelta repositories instead, as it will work much better for users. (With the repositories, just `apt-get install mariadb-server` will work, as will the Synaptic package manager GUI). I hope you will be able to sort out some instructions, else ask me and I will try to help. This is made somewhat more urgent since after FOSDEM a number of people will probably want to try out the .debs ASAP, as we advertised them ... - Kristian.
