    Hi,

    My server is debian (sarge) with ispconfig of course :) . I'm running both php4 and php5 according this how to http://www.howtoforge.com/apache2_with_php5_and_php4 so both php4 and php5 are installed (upgraded) from dotdeb.org.

    But now when I want to do upgrade, I get this:
    Packages are kept back, but dist-upgrade looks Ok:
    If you notice also mysql-server is going to be upgraded from ver. 4.0.24-10sarge2 to 5.0_5.0.26-0.dotdeb.

    So my question is, is it save to upgrade mysql-server?
    How stable and secure are dotdeb packages?
    Anyone tried this?

    This is always risky. Usually there are no problems, but you never know...
    Never had problems with these, so I think they are very stable.
