=== ShawnR__ is now known as ShawnR
ShawnRok guys, i've tried figuring this out on and off for a while now and just can't get anywhere02:30
ShawnRwhenever i try to apt-get anything: mysql-server-5.5 : Depends: mysql-server-core-5.5 (= 5.5.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) but 5.5.40-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 is to be installed02:30
ShawnRapt-get -f install does not fix... i just need to be pointed in the right direction and hopefully can take it from there02:31
ShawnRi just have no where to turn02:31
ShawnRoh, and it is running 12.0402:35
mhall119ShawnR: do you need 5.5 specifically?03:22
ShawnRmhall119: not that i know of03:22
ShawnRi have a few things that use mysql, so i don't want to just remove it03:22
mhall119have you tried just installing the mysql-server package?03:22
ShawnRnot sure how this newer version came about or whatever, though03:22
ShawnRyeah, it fails03:23
mhall119same error?03:23
ShawnRyeah03:23
ShawnRhold on, i'll run again to verify03:23
ShawnRyup, same error03:23
mhall119run apt-cache show mysql-server-5.5 and pastebin the output03:24
ShawnRhttp://pastebin.com/FgxtMb4q03:26
ShawnRmhall119: tell me it isn't a lost cause... I need to rebuild my machine eventually, but I'd REALLY REALLY like to get my bash updated (and install some other things)03:31
mhall119ShawnR: should be recoverable03:31
ShawnRi figured that... just hope it is something that isn't TOO horrible to recover from03:31
mhall119did you already have mysql server installed on this box?03:31
ShawnRwith my job an my wife being sick, i have almost no time, so i really can't sit back and reinstall everything like i really want to03:32
ShawnRyeah03:32
ShawnRit has been on there for ages03:32
ShawnR this server started out as 10.04 i think was the last clean install i did03:32
ShawnRnow it is 12.0403:32
ShawnRi used to run a phpnuke site on it WAY back in the day03:33
ShawnRi can't even remember what I got DBs for now in mysql03:33
mhall119it seems a difference in version numbers, you have multiple available to install03:33
mhall119try this (/me is guessing at commandline syntax): apt-get install --upgrade mysql-server-5.5=5.5.40-0ubuntu0.12.04.103:35
ShawnRYou might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:03:37
ShawnRThe following packages have unmet dependencies:03:37
ShawnR mysql-server-5.5 : Breaks: mysql-server (< 5.5.40-0ubuntu0.12.04.1)03:37
ShawnRE: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).03:37
mhall119can you apt-get remove mysql-server-5.5 and then apt-get install mysql-server-5.5, or will that cause an outage in a service you have to keep live?03:38
ShawnRwon't cause an outage03:38
ShawnRi was just afraid of losing anything currently setup03:38
mhall119if you don't --purge you shouldn't lose anything03:38
ShawnRgotcha03:39
mhall119you can always mysqldump first03:39
ShawnRstill got same error :(03:39
ShawnRwon't let me uninstall b/c i need to apt-get -f install first (which doesn't work)03:39
ShawnRmysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.5 but it is not going to be installed03:39
ShawnRso i need to apt-get remove both mysql-server and mysql-server-5.5?03:39
ShawnRah, now zoneminder depends on mysql-server03:40
ShawnRi don't use that currently, i'll just ditch it03:40
mhall119mysql-server is just a meta-package that depends on mysql-server-5.5, you can try removing both (and mysql-server-core too)03:40
ShawnRThe following packages have unmet dependencies:03:40
ShawnR mysql-server-5.5 : Depends: mysql-server-core-5.5 (= 5.5.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) but 5.5.40-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 is to be installed03:40
ShawnRyeah, i need t odo core03:40
ShawnRooh...03:46
ShawnRdpkg might have done it...03:46
ShawnRok, so i'm getting closer... but still no dice, mhall119 04:47
ShawnRhttp://pastebin.com/RcKnPPBx there's the output from sudo apt-get -f install04:52
ShawnRI'll be around tomorrow.  Thanks for any/all help04:52
ShawnRand now to retire for the night04:52
