[Pkg-roundcube-maintainers] Bug#870479: Installation of roundcube fails with Maria DB

[Karsten]

Package: roundcube
Version: 1.2.3+dfsg.1-4
Severity: normal

Maria-DB is now the standard database in Debian.
In the standard configuration there is no root password needed for Maria-DB.
But the installer is asking for one and then the installation fails.

It is not possible to install roundcube with database with this package now.
So it is easier to download and install direct from the sources. :-(
Then i have the advantage to get directly version 1.3.0.

Cheers
Karsten
