No, you'll have to install

No. I think it's not a good solution to use package from

He says "I've rebuilt

No, It's always a pleasure (for me) to discover

I am not sure what you are getting at. Of course there are more than
one way to do things. I mentioned the way that I thought was easiest.
I installed the shared-compat package, then removed the old mysql,
then installed the new 4.1.9 versions of client and server. It all
worked. No errors.

The issue has been solved, one way or another, so please let it end.
