Public bug reported: Binary package hint: rsyslog-mysql
When installing rsyslog-mysql via apt-get on 10.04 by default it will install mysql-server. I think most people will only want the client by default. This is because of the new default behaviour of apt-get which automatically installs recommended packages. I think mysql-server should be dropped as a recommended package. As a workaround you can install the client only with: apt-get --no-install-recommends install rsyslog-mysql However the post install script still prompts about configuring the database. It misleading says this: "The rsyslog-mysql package must have a database installed and configured before it can be used." A local database is not a requirement and most servers will be sending to a remote server. The user can just choose 'No'. ** Affects: rsyslog (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: rsyslog -- Installing rsyslog-mysql on 10.04 installs mysql-server by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659439 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
