mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.5 but it is not going to be installed

Guess you somehow managed to install a later version of the mysql client package which is blocking the mysql server version 5.5 now. Please try this:

sudo apt-get purge mysql-client-core-5.6
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get install mysql-client-core-5.5
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

@Sebastian-Roth I got this after entering the 1st command (purge):

fogadmin@FOGTEST:~$ sudo apt-get purge mysql-client-core-5.6
[sudo] password for fogadmin: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package 'mysql-client-core-5.6' is not installed, so not removed

I tried the rest of the commands and they seemed to go through.
I somehow really borked this but I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. I just ran the script and it failed at SQL again.

@fry_p Can you try:

sudo apt-get purge mysql-server* mysql-client*

It will remove all database application software, but the db should remain under /var/lib/mysql.

[Sebastian Roth]

dpkg -l | grep -e mysql -e maria …?

[fry_p]

@Sebastian-Roth I ran

sudo apt-get purge mysql-server* mysql-client*

at Tom’s suggestion then ran

sudo apt-get autoremove

Ran my script once again and it worked, I’m now on 7695.

Thanks guys!
(P.S. If anyone is interested in my script, I just took a script I found and modified it to my liking and use cron to run it every night)

@fry_p Great to hear that you got things fixed and are back up running!

Personally I am not that fond of the idea of automatically upgrading every night. FOG trunk is under development and quite often we break things. It’s great for us as you will always be the first to find an issue and post in the forums. But you might find yourself being annoyed by this as well. Don’t get me wrong. You are more than welcome and we really appreciate people testing the very latest!!! I just hope you don’t get frustrated.

You’ll get to know FOG and how to debug and fix things very fast if you are going this way - that’s for sure. So there is a great opportunity in keeping up with the latest version as well. As I said most welcome!

@Sebastian-Roth For the sake of downtime, I am probably going to slow down the update rate, but I do enjoy helping the evolution of FOG. I was properly warned of the risks before I moved to Trunk, but being on the forefront is pretty cool. I guess I could be considered a tester of sorts. The performance jump from 1.2 to Trunk is also astounding. I am getting insane upload and download speeds without having changed any network equipment! Plus, my knowledge of Linux prior to being in charge of my FOG installation was 0. Now I can cruise through basic terminal work and scripting. Good Stuff!

You definitely are. @Moderators Can anyone please tag him as a tester!

That’s kind of odd from my point of view as the tools used to do the actual up- and download (udp-sender for multicast download and NFS for upload and unicast download) haven’t changed much in a while!

Absolutely great. I think FOG has pushed quite a few people to look into linux and get their hands dirty. That’s amazing and I love to see it!

@Sebastian-Roth Added to testers.

we’ve made changes to how compression/decompression is handled to better utilize the processing power available
