Then, respectfully, upstream do need to have their heads examined. Using the mysql client libraries would be understandable, but this is just completely objectionable. I don't want a trace of mysql near my system, but I would like to use kde4. Optional mysql database bindings for the server would be preferable so I don't even need the mysql client libraries installed. Really. > No value in keeping this bug open. You might want to reconsider not pulling in the mysql server package into the default kde install by not including akonadi-server in the metapackage dependencies. The current requirement to run mysql is horrible in the extreme. kde[4] -> kdepim -> korganizer -> akonadi-server -> mysql-server Ouch! Totally not acceptable. Thanks, Roger -- .''`.
