I can confirm this bug on Dapper. apt-get install cacti from a fresh install fails when cacti tries to create its database because the mysql server is not yet been installed.
cacti package should REQUIRE and not RECOMMEND the mysql-server package. -- Install fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/48466 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
