[Bug 304010] Re: [jaunty] kubuntu-desktop drags in mysql-server-5.0

[Harald Sitter]

Akonadi, the PIM (and other stuff) storage backend requires mysqld.
While it does not use the global mysql server (I guess it actually could
if the user wishes to) it starts it's own instance of mysqld.

In addition to that Amarok 2 will/does use the non-daemon mysql version,
which as a matter of fact will require mysql 5.1

Getting this resolved is going to be fun and needs a lot of cross team
collaboration.

For future reference I will try to list the requirements:
* Akonadi needs mysqld (as well as runtime data) ... currently it uses mysql-server, hardlinks mysqld-akonadi to mysqld (to differ the apparmor profiles)
* Amarok needs libmysql 5.1 at compile time 
* Amarok needs mysql 5.1 runtime data at runtime
