zabbix-server-pgsql should depend on php5-pgsql

[tavasti]

After installing zabbix-server-pgsql and zabbix-frontend-php, access to zabbix prints out to apache error log:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function pg_connect() in /usr/share/zabbix/include/db.inc.php on line 81

Install php5-pgsql and restart apache2

Database config is done on install time, and that's why package should depend on php5-pgsql. Package doesn't work like it should without php5-pgsql

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Sorry if I'm musguided it this, but zabbix-server does not, and should not depend on php-pgsql, it's the zabbix-frontend-php, that should, and does depend on php5-pgsql OR php5-mysql.
The whole problem here is that apt installs the mysql variant, when it should use the pgsql version.

I agree with the previous poster.

If you are connecting to a zabbix-server-pgsql, you want zabbix-frontend-php and php5-pgsql.
If you are connecting to a zabbix-server-mysql, you want zabbix-frontend-php and php5-mysql.
Could make more packages, i.e. zabbix-frontend-php-pgsql and zabbix-frontend-php-mysql.

Doing what the ticket description says is certainly wrong because the server and frontend do not have to be installed on the same system.
