Bug 22926 – emerge -up world wants to down grade my Mysql(4.0.12) to Mysql(3.23.56)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Darcy Bottaro 2003-06-16 07:08:07 UTC]

I was trying to update my Linux Server, I type emerge -up world and emerge is
telling me it wants to down grade my Mysql(4.0.12) to Mysql(3.23.56).

Could there be a possible connection with the DBD-mysql-2.1027 wanting to be
upgraded to DBD-mysql-2.1027.

What can I do to stop this?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -up world
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
It shows me that it wants to down grade my Mysql.

Expected Results:  
Thought it would upgrade me to version 4.0.13 or higher.

try emerge -Up instead of -up

Oh, and as for upgrading to 4.0.13, since those are still unstable you need to enter following, first.
$ export ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
$ emerge -Up mysql

Any chance we can get a 4 release ebuild marked as stable? 
I'd say 4.0.12 was marked as stable at one point, seeing as Darcy managed to have it 
installed. 
4.0.x is mysql's production release now too.

*nod*
I've used 4.0.x pretty much since the ebuild came out, with no problems.
A few databases, handful of apps connecting to it.

I tried the command emerge -Up world and it updated the system and didn't update MYSQL. Thanks Darcy

4.0 is now stable
