mysql upgrade broke server



I just tried to upgrade mysql-server which replaces 4.1 with 5.0. The
upgrade aborts because there are supposedly MyISAM files and so I should
reinstall 4.1 to fix them then try the upgrade again.

The problem is that mysql-server-4.1 *depends* *on* mysql-server-5.0
(which doesn't make any sense) so apt-get won't let me reinstall 4.1.

What should I do now?
