Hi,
please pardon my ignorance about Debian install. I'm distributing a software
which could use various DBMS'es by setting a number of parameters. Example
parameters are only given for MariaDB. I distribute a debian/ directory that
Debian users can use to prepare a package instead of configure, make, make
install. However, the debian/postinst supports MariaDB only.
A user complained that MySQL doesn't work, because it misses the INET6 type
that the example settings use. Now I've added "mariadb-client | mariadb-server
| dbconfig-no-thanks" to the Debian clause in debian/control. I'm not clear
how I could add an (optional) Conflicts mysql-something, also because I see no
mysql-server in the package cache.
Is there a way to fail if a user chooses to install the DB but MariaDB is
missing? Or is the above enough?
Thanks in advance for any hint
Ale
