Trouble updating MySQL and Apache

Linode Staff

I'm trying to update mysql and apache on my Linode instance but having problem with package dependencies. My ubuntu distribution is quite old, so I don't know if I should upgrade this first.

Can you please help update both mysql, but ideally apache too?

If your distro is old…and possibly EOL, what you are attempting is probably a lost cause unless you are adept at building stuff from source.

I would upgrade your distro first. That process will probably upgrade BOTH apache2 and mysql.

As always, back up your system before trying this at home.
