Re: [cobalt-users] Failed install of MySQL-3.23.54-1 from pkgmaster :(

[Josh Kuperman <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had similar problems, but I simply reinstalled the old version from
a saved copy of the old package.

I believe the problem is simply that the install doesn't work on XTRs
and perhaps others. I would really like to know if, by using the steps
below I could install the new version and if I do what would show up
on the web interface when the next MySQL update comes out?
