Package: amarok
Version: 1.4.4-2
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
given MySQL AB's strange stances about commercial (non-)support for Debian
and its actions surrounding SCO and Microsoft (for more information,
see e.g. http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/8163/1090/),
I was finally taking enough notice to start wondering what kind of
"superfluous"/"unhealthy"/"unorthodox" dependencies my system on MySQL has:
# dpkg -l|grep sql
ii libhsqldb-java 1.8.0.7-1 Java SQL
database engine
ii libmysqlclient15off 5.0.30-1 mysql
database client library
ii libsqlite3-0 3.3.8-1 SQLite 3
shared library
ii mysql-common 5.0.30-1 mysql
database common files (e.g. /etc/mysql/my.cnf)
The extremely obvious next steps failed, unfortunately:
# dpkg --purge mysql-common libmysqlclient15off
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of libmysqlclient15off:
amarok depends on libmysqlclient15off (>= 5.0.24-2).
kexi depends on libmysqlclient15off (>= 5.0.24-2).
dpkg: error processing libmysqlclient15off (--purge):
dependency problems - not removing
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of mysql-common:
libmysqlclient15off depends on mysql-common (>= 5.0.30-1).
dpkg: error processing mysql-common (--purge):
dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
libmysqlclient15off
mysql-common
(dito for kexi, obviously)
Would there be a way to make those libraries entirely optional and thusly
usually invisible on the system?
(runtime-loading via dlopen(), then Recommend or Suggest them)
Sure would be nice to try to contain the damage done to the Linux community
by the Microsoft/SCO/Novell debacle...
And maybe even provide support for the very nice and powerful firebird DBMS,
too? ;)
And yes, this is a semi-serious bug report, I don't really expect
too much to be done with it, submitting it to possibly spark some thoughts
and just for the fun of it.
Thanks a lot for all your incredible Debian maintenance work,
Andreas Mohr
