Hmmm... OK. Maybe you're technically right, still new users do not expect getting any such errors.
However: when during installation of "mantis" I were asked by "dbconfig" package what to do with MySQL. It seems natural to allow installation of "MySQL" during this interactive session on-the-fly, without introducing hard-dependency. Current situation is *very* confusing for new users alike, especially because the installation (of "mantis") had interactive questions. Therefore I propose to open feature-request against "dbconfig-common" package to provide an option to install "mysql-server" on the fly. (probably for "debian-wheezy", because we speak about intrusive change required) Is this acceptable outcome ? -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
