In a continuation of this question, I have purged the 5.1 client via sudo apt-get purge mysql-client-core-5.1. I have reinstalled the 5.5 client - sudo apt-get --reinstall install mysql-client-5.5 mysql-client-core-5.5. I've also restarted apache and MySQL. Despite that, phpmyadmin still lists the client as being 5.1. Any ideas how to fix it?

EDIT:

It tells me that mysql-client-5.1 is not installed. mysql --version returns:

$ mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.28, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.2

When you use apt-get purge you only listed client-core did you do apt-get purge mysql-client-5.1 as well? What is the output of mysql --verison – sparticvs Nov 18 '12 at 14:31

Yes, as you stated, I ran into that problem a year ago, just to eventually discover that phpmyadmin reports the version of the mysqli module it uses to connect to the actual mysql server.

Further research shows that the 'client version' listed by phpmyadmin is the version of the PHP MySQL module I have installed, and has nothing to do with the actual MySQL client.
