MySQL 5.6.29 for Wheezy

Hi, when you will add MariaDB?

Thanks

Hello Guillaume,

I’m facing an issue while upgrading my server, i get this error message :

# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysql-server-5.6 : Depends: mysql-server-core-5.6 (= 5.6.25-1~dotdeb+7.1) but 5.6.29-1~dotdeb+7.1 is installed
Recommends: mysql-common-5.6 but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Here all packages of mysql :

# dpkg -l | grep mysql
ii libdbd-mysql-perl 4.021-1+b1 amd64 Perl5 database interface to the M ySQL database
iU libmysqlclient-dev 5.6.29-1~dotdeb+7.1 amd64 MySQL database development files
iU libmysqlclient18:amd64 5.6.29-1~dotdeb+7.1 amd64 MySQL database client library
ii mysql-client 5.6.25-1~dotdeb+7.1 all MySQL database client (metapackag e depending on the latest version)

iU mysql-client-core-5.6 5.6.29-1~dotdeb+7.1 amd64 MySQL database core client binari es
ii mysql-common 5.6.29-1~dotdeb+7.1 all MySQL database common files, e.g. /etc/mysql/my.cnf
ii mysql-server 5.6.25-1~dotdeb+7.1 all MySQL database server (metapackag e depending on the latest version)

iU mysql-server-core-5.6 5.6.29-1~dotdeb+7.1 amd64 MySQL database server binaries

The “apt-get -f install” wont solve the issue :

Do you have an idea about this ?

Thanks in advance,

@Guillaume : Thanks you for your answer.

To resolve the issue, I had to delete the existing mysql-upgrade folder (it is a symlink partition). After that, the update process was able to be done.
Is it normal that this folder is still remaining after the update ?

l /var/lib/mysql-upgrade
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 18 09:05 DATADIR.link -> /home/mysql
