Keep in mind the following chain: Apache depends on PHP, PHP depends on MySQL. Updating MySQL can and will have ramifications for packages other than MySQL.
I'm sorry? Apache is a web server, extremely popular and independent of pretty much anything else.* MySQL is a database, very popular and independent of pretty much anything else.* PHP is a language, popular among those who care about popularity, and most often used with a web server, in which case it depends on the web server and, if you care, on the database. So what 'chain' are you talking about? Sure, the MySQL version is important for any programs that depend on it, but that's a tautology, no?! Cheers, Dave * PS Of course, there are dependencies, but neither Apache nor MySQL depends on PHP. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
