Hi folks, most people with automatic updates might not have noticed, but if you look closer, the recent bunch of updates, including KDE 4.2, installs the MySQL server on the machine (and some other database related stuff which MySQL depends on). It's the "akonadi" package that requires a MySQL server to run. Google shows that there's been a long discussion about this issue some months ago. Unfortunately, akonadi cannot be uninstalled, because that will break a lot of KDE dependencies. Is there an easy way around it? An end-user desktop environment requires a full-blown local database to be setup and run. Wow, I didn't know that so many users are professional database admins and know what to do. No KDE without MySQL. For now, the KDE 4.2 stuff can be ignored: yum update -x akonadi -x 'kde*' -x 'PyKDE*' -x ksysguardd -x oxygen-icon-theme Of couse, KDE updates cannot be ignored forever ... Is this MySQL dependency by intention? Couldn't find anything helpful on this or on the devel mailing list, although this is a big issue, IMHO. Confused ...
