Hi.
Although informing a "warning" message, there exists a little error
when going through the dbc_go function, specifically in the block that
manage creating and populating DB.
The problem shows up when you want to use a remote DB server, and you
don't have any locally installed for any reason (which is not a
requirement in some cases, as mine).
This simple patch validates if the connection uses "unix socket" to
communicate with the database, which forces to be just a local
DBserver, and requiring DB_package as it's needed.
If the case the user wants to use TCP/IP communication even to a local
DBserver, the package dependences (the one that uses dbconfig, the one
being installed) should be in charge for requesting a
mysq-server|postgresql-server dependence, solving the whole situation.
