Then you haven't explained yourself very well, because at the start of
this thread you were talking about a conflict between the mysql 3 and
mysql 5 *clients*, not servers.

Trying to get it to install MySQL 3.23 client seems to
be stymied by the php4-mysql default dependency on the
MySQL 5 client. I haven't actually figured out how it
specifies this dependency, since the
php4-mysql/Makefile is very empty.
--
So, does it or does it not require the mysql 3.23 client in
php4-mysql and dotproject?

Look in <bsd.php.mk> for the rest.
