mySQL client update

[Set Hallstrom]

Thank you for your prompt answer. :)

In synaptic, i found these and removed them:

libmysqlclient18
libqt4-sql-mysql
mysql-common
libt4-sql-mysql:i386
libmysqlclient18:i386

My knowledge is poor, but i do have a little bit of experience in
mysql thru apache and my webserver. I really don't understand where
they come from. especialy the i386 ones, since i'm runnig a 64 bit
system...

Na well... all gone.

I must confess i've become specialy alert to this type of activity,
since my UbuStu 12.04 started to sporadically ask me for admin
password without any apparent reason, in a pop up window. However, i'm
more of an upload person and defo no warez dude so, it should be fine.
