[DRE-maint] [Bug 696246] Re: Dependency on mysql not recognised

[kapouer]

This is more of an admin issue. Configuring dbconfig-common 
to connect to a non-existent mysql or pgsql server is bound to fail.
Reconfiguring after having a working sql server somewhere is the obvious action...
Does it really need to be coded somewhere ?

Title:
  Dependency on mysql not recognised

Status in “redmine” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: redmine

During installation of Redmine, configuration of mysql database is performed which requires the password for the mysql database administrator. If mysql-server has not been installed, this stage fails. There should be some check that mysql-server is available and if not, a message should inform the user how to reconfigure the application after fixing the issue. Mysql is not a dependency of Redmine because the database backend could be on another host or a different database engine.
