So I learned today that MySQL 5.0.32 has a bug wherein you cannot put commas in an enum field. They get replaced with a weird y character with an umlaut for some reason. There's a bug report on it here.
So I tried to upgrade my dev server's MySQL install using apt. It tells me that 5.0 is the latest:
debian2:~# apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
mysql-server-5.0 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I've tried this here but it's not working either:

I'm not super savvy about these install processes and don't want to break anything. Anyone have suggestions or advice about how to proceed?
