Gnome and KDE are non-conflicting, you can install both at the same time. The situation with MariaDB and MySQL is different. MariaDB is essentially a different version of MySQL; the binaries are named the same, the libraries are named the same, it runs on the same default port, etc. So only one can be installed at a time. In Ubuntu 9.04 for example, there is a similar situation, since they have eg. mysql-server-5.0 and mysql-server-5.1 packages, both of which "provides:" mysql-server. The situation with our MariaDB Debian packages is the same, both mariadb-server-5.1 and mysql-server-5.1 "provides:" mysql-server. - Kristian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ourdelta-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ourdelta-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
