mysql-client is needed by xtrabackup-1.2-22.rhel5.x86_64

[Brad Fino]

I've got a mysql client installed from my default OS package install .... but apparently it doesn't meet the specific dependency requirement from the spec file for this rpm.

# rpm -ivh http://www.percona.com/downloads/XtraBackup/XtraBackup-1.2/RPM/rhel5/x86_64/xtrabackup-1.2-22.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

Maybe move the dependency from the spec file/rpm to innobackupex-1.5.1 and just have a couple lines of perl notify you if mysql isn't in the system path? otherwise you have to have every permutation of every mysql package listed in the spec file for the dependencies (ie MySQL-client mysql-client MySQL mysql MySQL-Enterprise).
