I agree, this should not be listed in the depends field. I sometimes get suggests and recommends backwards, but iirc, it is recommends that means "this package will be needed for a typical installation to function as expected". If this plugin is one that is going to be used in a typical installation then the mysql package should be listed as a recommends, if it is more of an optional thing that not many people use, then it should be suggests. -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
