QtSql module should provide Firebird (Interbase) driver too

[Ihar Hrachyshka]

Though 'aptitude show libqt4-sql' shows:
Recommends: libqt4-sql-mysql | libqt4-sql-odbc | libqt4-sql-psql | libqt4-sql-sqlite | libqt4-sql-sqlite2 | libqt4-sql-ibase <-- here is "ibase"
But there is no such package. As long as Ubuntu has firebird-2.1 integrated into repos we should also provide db driver for qt4 too. Here are the steps too do this manually: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=669005

Unfortunately this is not possible.
firebird2.1 is part of the universe part of Ubuntu's archive, while Qt is in main. Because of dependency regulations packages in main are not allowed to (build) depend on packages in universe.

Closing bug as wont fix.

[Popa Adrian Marius (mapopa)]

i will open an bug so that firebird to be included in the main

Mariusz, please specify the bug number here when you are done.

[Roland Hughes (original-seasoned-geek)]

At least one version of Firebird needs to be part of the main.
