Package: mysql-server Version: 4.0.24-10 Severity: normal
Because the mysql-server package depends on mailx, whenever I try to change from exim4 to qmail, mailx is removed, and mysql-server is also removed, crashing web services. While having a mail program is useful, it is hard to see why it should be essential for a database. Surely it is more robust simply to log errors or problems in a log file rather than to try to email them? My suggestion would be to allow mysql-server to be or remain installed without mailx so that the MTA could be changed without removing mysql-server. It is an excellent package otherwise.
