Is this just a limitation of piuparts? I wonder why your installation fails without a MySQL server available. I could go into details about the way you configure databases, but the following question seems more appropriate: why don't you use dbconfig-common as the way to configure your database? It concentrates code for packages wanting to configure databases into one place, making sure such issues as these are not solved again and again for every package. Thijs
