Hi,

I am trying to install MySQL server & client from the packages 
collection with no success. Being a FreeBSD newbie I will need your 
help. Please check the following:

mazenbsd# pkg_add -r mysql-server
Fetching 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.9-release/Latest/mysq 
                         l-server.tgz... Done.
Fetching 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.9-release/All/p5-DBD- 
                         mysql-2.1026_1.tgz... Done.
pkg_add: could not find package mysql-client-4.0.15 !
pkg_add: pkg_add of dependency 'p5-DBD-mysql-2.1026_1' failed!
Fetching 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.9-release/All/mysql-c 
                         lient-4.1.0.tgz... Done.

What I understood is p5-DBD-mysql-2.1026_1.tgz package depends on the 
mysql-client-4.0.15 package which cannot be found (how? why?) and 
instead the mysql-client-4.1.0.tgz package was installed. All in all the 
server installation failed.

What should I do to fix this?

TIA

Cheers,
