[Bug 463381] Re: moodle package is lacking critical dependancy on php-db

[Jeremy Bicha]

Moodle in both Debian and Ubuntu uses postgresql by default. If someone
wants mysql, they will have to do more work. Basically, they will need
to do something like:

sudo aptitude install moodle mysql-server php5-mysql

If they do this, neither postgresql or php5-pgsql will be installed and
moodle will work just fine with mysql. Although php5-mysql is a small
file, I'm not sure that we should install it for everyone. Basically,
moodle works with either postgresql or mysql but if you want mysql you
have to know what you're doing.

Maybe we should add a note that if you want mysql, you'll have to
install php5-mysql.

I believe this bug will also occur if someone already has mysql-server
installed without php5-mysql.

** Changed in: moodle (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New

** Summary changed:

- moodle package is lacking critical dependancy on php-db
+ moodle does not work out of the box with mysql
