I got myself into trouble with mysql on debian lenny (details).I tried these commands:dpkg-reconfigure mysqldpkg --purge mysql-serverapt-get install mysql-servermysql_install_dband variants of these in different order using killall mysql and killall mysqld and had no luck whatsoever. I even deleted every mysql folder listed in whereis mysql.How do I properly reinstall a package? Because the above is not working for me.
How do I reinstall software properly in Debian?
