Heya All,

I recently installed DA on an Debian Lenny System.
Works fine, I however noticed that Apt is giving me the following additional lines:

PHP: 
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libcap1 libmysqlclient15off libpq5 mysql-common proftpd-basic
  proftpd-mod-ldap proftpd-mod-mysql proftpd-mod-pgsql
The following packages will be upgraded:
  linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 proftpd tzdata

Now I am doubting the fact if I should surpress mysql-common & proftpd.
These should be installed by DA package manager right?
But how the hack could these ever got requested trough Apt, since I used a base system install with only the DA installer.

Have I been missing something and is DA debian actually using apt sources?

Thanks in advance for enlighten me!

Regards
 
libmysqlclient15off and mysql-common aren't much of a trouble, but they won't be needed as soon as you put DA's proftpd (yes, it uses a .deb package on Debian) in hold: "aptitude hold proftpd". You don't want to upgrade DA's package with the one from the Debian repository, the config is completely different.

Another solution is to remove DA's proftpd with "aptitude remove proftpd" and use CustomBuild to install proftpd from sources instead.
