The bacula-client does not pull in mysql-server, only mysql-libs. There's a problem here, can you post me the dependency that yum generates upon installation? On my systems (rhel4,5,6) the result is correct. > Forgive me but I get the impression that you didn't get my point. This > thread is about the Bacula client aka File Daemon.

I got the point, I think that can be done without making things too complicated. Would it be okay if the actual list of packages would end up like this? bacula-client.x86_64 bacula-common.x86_64 bacula-console.x86_64 bacula-console-bat.x86_64 bacula-director.x86_64 bacula-docs.noarch bacula-libs.x86_64 <-- remove libbacsql*, libbaccats* and the alternatives bacula-storage.x86_64 PLUS: bacula-libs-sql.x86_64 <-- this would contain libbacsql* and libbaccats* required by Director and Storage Daemons If that would be feasible for you I can introduce the change. What do you think? > Thanks, > Tilman Regards, --Simone -- You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore (R. W.
