Bug#461641: libqt4-dev: should the dependency on libqt4-sql be a recommends?
Package: libqt4-dev
Version: 4.3.3-2
Severity: normal
since there are currently security issues with a couple of the mysql
packages in sid, i would like to remove them. however, doing so would
remove libqt4-dev as well since there is a dependency on libqt4-sql
(which depends on the mysql packages).
if the dependency on libqt4-sql were changed to a recommends, this
wouldn't be a problem. i am not familiar with the libqt4-dev package,
so i don't know what kind of effect that has. but it seems like the mysql
and qt4 development stuff are or should be separate/separable things.
thanks for all the hard work.
