why installing mysql-server wants to remove sysvinit
- by E-rich
I want to install mysql-server-5.5 in a new Debian Squeeze installation, but when I start to install it I get a warning that I don't see as being a requirement:
WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.
This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
sysvinit
It looks like the upstart package will be installed to replace sysvinit. Will proceeding with the install cause damage? Can you help me understand why sysvinit needs to be removed for mysql-server to be installed? Is there a way to install mysql-server without removing sysvinit?
