Hi ...
I'm trying to install phpmyadmin, but it asks me to downgrade from mysql-server-5.1 to mysql-server-5.0.

In a "virtual snapshot" I continued, blocked apt, and resolved with:
apt-get install mysql-server-5.1
apt-get -f install
And that resolved everything.

But in the "real machine" I would like to find a better solution.
How do I install a package avoiding a downgrade like that?
