Am I missing something?
This is normal and by design. The RT port depends on the ability to
connect to a database being available on the server -- the database
itself can be on some other server. Pretty much any program that can
access MySQL will have similarly a dependency on mysql-client and not
on mysql-server. If you need MySQL on that machine, then just install
it.
