title: What really causes PHP MySQL library version differs from your MySQL server version?
body: <p>This message appears in PhpMyAdmin. Often after some update.</p>
  
  <p>There are already a lot of similar questions. One typical answer is "update your libs".
  But in the end I still see a lot of people who can't solve it. (myself included)</p>
  
  <p>I've tried to reinstall everything from scratch but it's still there and I get this exact version error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Your PHP MySQL library version 5.5.34 differs from your MySQL server
    version 5.1.69.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've added the output of my packages list. Everything looks correct. Or so I think. I don't understand where this 5.1.69 version comes from. I don't have much knowledge of linux / server setup.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any linux/server wizard who can help? thank you : )</p>
