I'am running a server with Ubuntu Breezy on it. It's running for more than a year now and it's just running perfect, but i want to install proftpd-mysql, and this is not going the way i want. Below you will find the errors, the errors are probbally because breezy is stopped. Is there a workaround to install proftpd-mysql and proftpd-common. prompt:~# apt-get install proftpd-mysql Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...

Please advise, Kind Regards, René p.s. I don't want to upgrade to Dapper
If the package were discontinued I wouldn't think it would find it then try to install it, only to not find the URL. I would try running apt-get update if it still tries to install then obvious it's not meant to be discontinued and is probably broken some how at that repository server. Also, try seeing if using another set of sources and see if it works with them. You could always just search for the package name it's trying to find on google and install that manually with dpkg -i <file>. Or even compile it from the source code. A quick search and I think I found the package you want... http://ftp.interlegis.gov.br/pub/ub...se/p/proftpd/proftpd-mysql_1.2.10-22_i386.deb Just fetch that with wget and use dpkg, could have dependencies though On second though, dpkg should handle those dependencies...I think, I can't remember exactly. Thanks.
Oke Geekman, I will first try this in vmware to see if this will work. I just need to be sure for the dependencies, otherwise it will not work i believe. Thanks for the reply
I also found this out that al the repositories are gone, but i don't want to run the risk to upgrade to a newer version. I need to run php4, and i'am not sure when i do an total upgrade of the system this would keep on running. Is there some other way to instal proftpd-mysql ?
I tried to install with dpkg -i <file> but there comes the dependencies problem. Below you will find the output. First i tried to install proftpd-mysl dpkg -i proftpd-mysql_1.2.10-22_i386.deb (Reading database ... 27968 files and directories currently installed.)

Please advise.
You can always download the source code and compile it manually, but I don't see why you can't upgrade to 6.10 or newer even, it shouldn't hurt your php installation since they are two different packages on the system...i'm pretty sure, might need someone to confirm that. I'm following this guide to upgrade my oldest box which runs 5.10 because I ran into the same issue as there...but I haven't finished downloading all the packages yet. http://www.jasonandshawnda.com/wordpress/?m=200703 Thanks
