[Bug 988889] Re: [packaging] hard dependency on mysql backend, breaks other programs

[Philippe Clérié]

I've just spend a little over a year trying to avoid akonadi because I
do not want to run a mysql or postgresql server for akonadi. I was quite
excited by the apparent success of the sqlite backend. While this is not
necessarily a show stopper it certainly is annoying to have to install
stuff I know I don't need.

I can understand the preference for defaulting to the mysql backend. But
if I choose to install another packaged backend, it seems reasonable to
expect other backends to be removed (or at least be removable!)

Thanks for the work! I'm really hoping I can go back to using kmail.
