[Bug 1270389] [NEW] QMYSQL "Driver not loaded Driver not loaded"

[Alex Peters]

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Install digiKam and proceed through the first-run wizard.
2.  Enter digiKam configuration, and enter MySQL database connection details.
3.  Press "Check DB Connection."

Expected result:

digiKam attempts to connect to the specified database.

Actual result:

"Database connection test was not successful.  Error was: Driver not
loaded Driver not loaded"

Running from the terminal, the following messages are output when the
button is pressed:

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE

I was able to fix this problem by installing package "libqt4-sql-mysql"
and restarting digiKam.  Possibly this package should be considered a
dependency, or at least a recommendation, or perhaps digiKam could
indicate which package needs to be installed in this situation.
