[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#560064: Bug#560064: tora: should Recommend or Suggest the required libraries for databases
severity 560064 wishlist retitle 560064 Please provide debug package thanks I could not connect to my postgres database because the required qt library was not installed. Please Recommend or Suggest libqt4-sql-psql. Not needed because tora depends on libqt4-sql which recommends libqt4-sql-mysql | libqt4-sql-odbc | libqt4-sql-psql | libqt4-sql-sqlite | libqt4-sql-sqlite2 | libqt4-sql-ibase. That should do it.

Users shouldn't expect apt-cache show tora to show all the information they need. And tora will tell you about the missing connection provider when you start it. I don't see a reason to add this information to README.Debian too.

I don't see a reason to add this information to README.Debian too. At least for me, it didn't show any information. I had to guess what was missing. At first I wasn't even sure whether postgres is still supported as only mysql was shown in the connection dialog. If I had been notified somehow by tora, I would not have reported this as bug.

Ah, you had the mysql provider installed. Of course there is no error message in this case because there is a valid connection provider. There is no way for the system to know you want a different one.

There is no way for the system to know you want a different one. And that will probably be pretty common, at least on upgrades from lenny, as korganzer depends on akonadi-server which in turn depends on libqt4-sql-mysql in current testing. And korganizer is probably installed by most KDE users. But there's nothing that would pull in libqt4-sql-psql. So being lost with no information about the required packages for other dababase types will probably be very common. The most beautiful way to solve this, at least from the user's point of view, would probably be to show all backends that are available in the repository. If one of the uninstalled backends is selected, the user should just need to enter the root pw to install the backend. AFAIK something like this is done for some (non-free)? codecs when they are needed by totem.
