in debian squeeze trying to install mariaDB5.2 i get a conflict with mysql- core used by aconandi. what should i do?

Can you provide some more details?

- What version of MariaDB 5.2?

5.2

- How did you try to install? Repository/mirror URL and exact commands used?

I followed instructions here: http://kb.askmonty.org/v/installing-mariadb-deb-files I added the mariadb repositories from source list generator for debian squeeze (i have 64bit system, with KDE )

Then i used aptitude to update packages. After choosing mariadb server and client aptitude warned me of conflicts and that i should remove mysql-server-core-5.1

At that point i stopped.

- Full output from the failing install

If you like, you can also file it as a bug on

https://bugs.launchpad.net/maria/+filebug

Then I will investigate.

That conflict is intentional.

The way the .deb packages are made, they are supposed to replace existing mysql packages. Installing mariadb should automatically uninstall mysql, install mariadb, and mariadb will take over the database and function in exactly the same way for any existing applications. Just when one upgrades from mysql-5.0 to mysql-5.1. It is not (easily) possible to have both mysql and mariadb installed at the same time using the .deb packages.

If you want to install mariadb on the same machine as mysql and have both running at the same time, you can use the binary tarballs. You should then install mariadb in a different location than mysql and configure it to use a different port.

...

At that point i stopped.

I take this to read that the install attempt worked, but you aborted it since you wanted to keep old mysql installed (which makes sense).

If you had accepted the replacement, and it had nevertheless failed, that would be a problem to investigate.

Hope this helps,

I have not installed mysql server. Akonadi depends on mysql-server-core and installed it when kde was installed in the first place.

I had not installed mariadb before cause i was not sure if that will break akonadi .

Thanks for the reply. I continued with the installation of mariadb 5.2 . No problem appeared .

Alexandros.
