mysql do not require $named to start. The init.d script relation in mysql state that if both mysql and the package implementing $named is both installed, mysql should start after the package implementing $named. So this dependency only kick in when both packages are installed on the same machine. > it should be enough that mysql is able to resolve domain names. > domain name service could very well be located on some other host. Yes. And the problematic relationship only kick in if both are installed on the same host. > the same holds for pdns requiring mysql, because mysql service does > not need to run on the same host where pdns is running. it should > be enough that mysql client library is available on the pdns host.
