But I'm still wondering about the *-client-core dependency. I found no mysql-client usage in files in akonadi-backend-mysql. I didn't check all the code, but the old version 1.7.2-3 didn't depend on *-client-core. And akonadi-backend-sqlite has no dependency on sqlite3, so I guess there may be no need of the mysql client binaries. > akonadi is starting a server by it self and also connects to it, > so for me it makes sense, that akonadi also needs mysql-client-core to > work. Have you tested a system without mysql-client-core? I just renamed the 3 binaries (mysql, mysql_embeded, mysqlcheck), and rebooted, and found that kmail/akregator work as normal, and "akonadictl fsck" work well too. I didn't test the setup. How about make it a suggest instead of depend/recommend?
