Oh, I can see that I was completely off base now.
You already had it working and when the updated mysql was installed, the problem started. 5.5.9-1 seems to have been released on the 8th of this month. I'm not the pacman expert yet. How do you keep mysql from updating when you do a sys-upgrade? I'll read up on that.

As I've written in the past, my mythbackend and two thin clients use ubuntu 10.10. With 1,075 recordings (and rising as we speak) I'm taking my sweet time postponing the new install. I already installed mythtv .24 on the arch box in anticipation and for the purposes of testing the backend. Thankfully I have a spare drive to install arch onto for the back end and won't loose a thing by swapping drives out.

I'll also have to test the old software raid on the new sys as all my recordings are there.

To prevent a pacakge from being upgraded edit /etc/pacman.conf, uncomment the Ignorepkg line and list the package you do not want upgraded. For example,

IgnorePkg = mysql libmysqlclient mysql-clients

There is excellent info about pacman in the ArchWiki. Much of what I've learned about linux is from reading the ArchWiki. It's a great resource.
