hello,
i do thank you for this clarification, and in that perspective
everything is as it should be except for the frontend depends.
However i do believe that zabbix should be perfectly isolated in it's
components: zabbix-server, mysql/postgresql, httpd+php+frontend. So i
could have a clean client-server architecture.
Therefore you should be able to cleanly install zabbix server on a
machine, mysql on another, and the frontend on yet another.
That did not *require* another user for the frontend, however, i believe
that it would be advisable to have one.
but that's my view of it, i guess it is all about criteria.
regarding dependencies, i installed the frontend on a machine with
apache, zabbix server and php (but not php-mysql) and got an error
trying to access the zabbix frontend. There was no support for php-mysql
and it was not installed with the frontend.
here is the frontend details:
apt-cache show zabbix-frontend-php
Package: zabbix-frontend-php
Priority: optional
Section: net
Installed-Size: 3588
Maintainer: Zabbix Maintainers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Architecture: all
Source: zabbix
Version: 1:1.4.6-1
Depends: apache2 | httpd, php5 | php5-mysql | php5-pgsql, php5-gd,
ucf, dbconfig-common (>= 1.8.19), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0
Recommends: zabbix-server-mysql | zabbix-server-pgsql, mysql-server
(>= 4.0.16-2) | postgresql-8.1
Filename: pool/main/z/zabbix/zabbix-frontend-php_1.4.6-1_all.deb
i guess it could be solved with a small change on the dependencies:
Depends: apache2 | httpd, php5, php5-mysql | php5-pgsql, php5-gd, ucf,
dbconfig-common (>= 1.8.19), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0
cheers

i just tried to reproduce this and i think you got something wrong here.
Installing the zabbix-frontend-php package however also Installs the
zabbix-server-mysql one, which is in the packages Recommends.
Per default, the Zabbix Username and the Zabbix Password you specify during the
zabbix-server installation, should also be used in the frontends package,
(which will ask you which zabbix database/user/password to use).
Otherwise, if you want to use 2 different users, you have to create one user by
yourself, because the frontend package does not *create* any database users, it
just asks you for the username to use .. (ideally the one you specified during
the zabbix-server-* installation).
The dbconfig common scripts work like expected and create all needed users
and schemas within the DB.
bye,
