Title: akonadi-server too dependent on MySQL and prevent percona instalation Status in akonadi package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in akonadi source package in Trusty: Triaged Bug description: There are a few serious packaging problems with akonadi: 1 - akonadi-server depends on akonadi-backend-mysql. It can also work with postgresql and sqllite, but mysql is mandatory, it should be optional. 2 - akonadi-backend depends on either mysql-server-core-5.5 or mariadb-server-core-5.5 2.1 - depending on a specific version of mysql is very bad. If there is a need for a feature on 5.5, it should be something like: mysql-server-core >= 5.5. As 5.6 has all feature of 5.5, it still cannot be installed. The same goes to the clients too. 2.2 - the percona-server-(server|client) should be added to the mix. PPA: http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.5/installation/apt_repo.html Basically the choice is either use mysql|mariadb 5.5 or no kde.
