All the libraries in Debian linking against libmariadb3 similary "relies on being able to connect to [MariaDB] to function", yet none of them recommend the package mariadb - because those libraries do not actually *use* mariadb, it is the applications linking against those libraries that use mariadb, and those applications can each decide how important is is for said functionality to work - whether it should be a dependency, a recommendation, or a suggestion. Declaring a package relation from a library to a daemon forces *all* consumers of that library to have equal strength relationship, which almost always wrong. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
