[debian-mysql] latest mysql version for Ubuntu?

[Rick Casey]

I have  this mysql version:

> mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.67, for debian-linux-gnu (i486)

up at Amazon Web Services, running a Ubuntu LAMP server.

I have this version of Linux (not that familiar with Ubuntu, but think it
derived from Debian Linux?):
> uname -a
Linux domU-12-31-38-00-9C-A5 2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen-ec2-v1.0 #2 SMP Tue Sep 1
10:04:29 EDT 2009 i686 GNU/Linux



I need to upgrade MySQL in order to functionality (table partitioning) that
is apparently not in this MySQL version; at least version 5.1, I believe.

Can anyone tell me if this version is available, and if it's possible to
retrieve via apt-get?

This is for work for a client, so any help would be much appreciated.
