Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dovecot-imapd
Hi,
I was trying to install dovecot-imapd on Gutsy (clean install). When I
was about to accept the install prompt, I realised that dovecot-imapd
was trying to force me into installing libmysqlclient15off and mysql-
common.
Now, I do not want any MySQL stuff in my server, I am a happy PostgreSQL
user and I actually run dovecot with PostgreSQL. I think dovecot should
suggest the MySQL and PostgreSQL stuff, not force it.
Also, the installation should detect my PostgreSQL and thus should not
force me to install anything else (it should suggest if I want to, I
guess, but my installation of PostgreSQL does suffice for dovecot).
Pretty much like other packages do... if, say, I want roundcube (a
webmail), I install first php5-pgsql and thus the roundcube package does
not try to install any mysql stuff.
Please fix this so everyone can have a nice and clean installation :)
Thank you very much!
