How do I upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 (Dell laptop, 32 bit) without getting MySQL 5.5 uninstalled and replaced with 5.1 (i'm doing an upgrade !!) ?
I've tried update manager, "do-release-upgrade -d" etc, in every case beeing told "removing mysql-server-5.5" without any chance to keep the original version.
Upgrading and then reinstalling mysql, checking that all options, users, permissions, config's etc are intact is !NOT! an option.

(How about creating an "Ubuntu Pro" focusing on performance with a simple and effective GUI and not a stupid, non-functioning interface ad modum 11.10 ?)
