[Typo3-debian] MySQL connection error while trying to install TYPO3

[Quentin Dewhurst]

You may be on unstable or test. not woody-stable. check where 'apt' is
getting its package lists from. seems typo3 has problems with libgd on an
unstable install [or vice versa]. not saying this is definately your issue
but i reckognise your errors - had a similar problem.  if you are on
unstable you have to do a complete rollback to stable [woody], which will no
doubt flag up other problems in your system afterwards, so good luck.

and to anyone thats helped me: guys i fixed all probs, runs nice thanks, I'm
most pleased.

Cheers, Q
