Unable to use mysql-server-cluster

[Ryan Davies]

I am unable to install the mythbuntu backend on a clustered mysql server.

This is because mythtv-backend depends on mythtv-common, and mythtv-common depends on mysql-client

Package: mythtv-common
Depends: pwgen, adduser, mysql-client, ttf-freefont, ttf-liberation, ttf-droid, ttf-dejavu, python, libasound2 (>> 1.0.24.1), libavc1394-0 (>= 0.5.3), libc6 (>= 2.7), libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, libglu1-mesa | libglu1, libiec61883-0 (>= 1.2.0), libmp3lame0, libmyth-0.24-0 (>= 2:0.24.0+fixes.20110509.475f612), libpulse0 (>= 0.9.16), libqt4-sql (>= 4:4.5.3), libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.5.3), libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.5.3), libraw1394-11, libsdl1.2debian (>= 1.2.10-1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), libudev0 (>= 147), libx11-6, libxext6, libxinerama1, libxrandr2, libxv1, libxxf86vm1, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0

To install mysql-client, mysql-cluster-client needs to be removed. Vanilla mysql-client and mysql-server do not support clustering.

The depend for mysql-client should be changed to depend on either, same for any mythbuntu/mythtv packages that depend on mysql-server (change to depend on either mysql-cluster-server or mysql-server)

Looking at the rdepends for mysql-cluster-client on natty, nothing currently uses these packages as alternative dependencies. I think a better solution is to have these packages use Provides for the regular mysql packages (at least for Natty).

supermario@toad:~/src/mythtv-fixes$ apt-cache rdepends mysql-cluster-client
mysql-cluster-client
