Yes, I removed them and now KDE is broken. I even tried to get just
konqueror back to use as a web browser, but that doesn't work without
the mysql-server :(
    

That's simply not true.  I've been running 4.2 since it was in experimental 
and I don't have mysql-anything installed there.  Konqueror works fine as 
does kmail.  Calendar and address book are not installed because they both 
need akonadi-server.

  

Actually, I was quite surprised to find that mysql was installed and the daemon started on every boot up with the recent KDE upgrade.  Trying to remove mysql wants to remove the entire KDE collection, which is not what I want either.  I am keeping the mysql because I am not skilled enough to surgically remove mysql without hosing my system, so the lesser of the two evils, I guess.
