Package: zabbix-server-mysql
Version: 1:3.0.12+dfsg-1
Severity: minor
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
It'd be nice if zabbix-server-mysql suggested php-mysql (in addition
to zabbix-frontend-php, which it already does).
The reason is: if the php-mysql package is not installed, even if
zabbix-frontend-php
is installed there will be no way to actually run it.
(As a side note, I was in the middle of a new zabbix installation and it
took me a while to realize my problems were coming from not having
php-mysql installed.)
The "patch" is simply to modify debian/control to have:
[...]
Package: zabbix-server-mysql
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, fping, adduser, lsb-base
Recommends: default-mysql-server | virtual-mysql-server, snmpd
,nmap
,traceroute
Suggests: zabbix-frontend-php, php-mysql, logrotate, sudo
[...]
Finally, this is not only true for version 1:3.0.12+dfsg-1.
Cheers,
Jordi
