Bug Description

[root@gval-cent5-64-n402 distr]# rpm -ihv xtrabackup-1.6-245.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        mysql is needed by xtrabackup-1.6-245.rhel5.x86_64

But on ubuntu xtrabackup does not depend on mysql. We should either remove dependency from RPM packages, or add them to .deb packages.

I think better one is to remove dependency from RPM - we do not need any part of mysql o prepare backup for restore.

mysql command line client is needed by innobackupex script - so we should have it as a dependency.

Since innobackupex uses mysql(1) for the communication with the server, the deb package was fixed to depend on mysql-client.
