Help please.
The client version php shows is the version php was compiled to. But imho you do not need to worry about. If php5-mysql is up to date everything is fine. The mysql-client you installed via apt is the cli tool "mysql". You may try BUT make sure, that your /etc/apt/sources.list contains your releaseversion and not stable, to avoid doing a distribution upgrade.
