I have installed Redmine on Ubuntu twice in the past 24 hours and hit this problem on both occasions. (I know I am the common element here!) It should be possible to install Redmine and have it work without lots of configuration. The reason I used the Ubuntu installation is because I had had so much _fun_ meeting dependencies and configuring Redmine previously and needed it to just install for the next time a server dies.
Part way through installation you are offered to be clever and configure it yourself, or to take the easy road. I think the easy road should "just work" or at least let you know how to make it work later if it failed. I am an IT professional with decades of experience and formal training so was able to fix the issues, diagnose what went wrong and report the bug. Redmine is fantastic (only hampered by the installation / configuration / programming language -;)) and it should be (relatively) easy for a wider audience to install and use it. Sorry, this sounds like a rant but was intended to get across the issue I see and _help_ solve it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/696246 Title: Dependency on mysql not recognised -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
