Ubuntu users in Ontario, Canada?

[Eric Cyr]

Someone (Stéphane?) mentioned earlier that the package wasn't actually
called "phpmysqladmin" but "phpmyadmin"
Packages.ubuntu.com search had results for it on Hardy, so it should be in
Synaptic/apt-get under the same.
Here's<http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=phpmyadmin&searchon=names&suite=hardy&section=all>the
packages.ubuntu.com link, in case that still doesn't work.
