The mediatomb binary is linked against libmysqlclient so that it can be used with a mysql backend. If the library is missing, then the program will not start. So simply suggesting the package is insufficient.
Removing the dependency would mean that the package couldn't be configured to run against MySQL. This would be a problem for people who are currently using that backend. -- installation of mediatomb installs mysql-common https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267833 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
