I want to install MySQL on Squeeze (Debian), but I get this error message from apt:

mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.1 but it is not going to be installed

I have tried to use a different source, but the issue persists.

source.list:

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian squeeze main
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian squeeze main

I guess it's a dependency problem but I don't know which repositories are fine.

root@10909-05:/archiv# apt-get install mysql-server-5.1

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mysql-server-5.1 : Depends: mysql-client-5.1 (>= 5.1.73-1) but it is not going to be installed <br>
                    Depends: libdbi-perl but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

EDIT: I upgraded to wheezy, now I can install mysql-server.

  • Please provide your sources.list file. Have you tried apt-get -f install ?

  • Add those repos to your source.list file: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free # Stable Sources deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free Then run apt-get update and try to install the package.

  • When adding extra information, please edit the question and add it there with proper formatting. What does apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 tell you? Aug 31, 2014 at 12:32
