What part of KDE requires MySQL server? None that I am aware of. But
then I build my own from source and not rely on these asinine package
dependencies from binary packages. There are NO KDE components that
/require/ MySQL. You can' specify database support, but it's not required.
Please, enlight me. How can akonadi work without a mysql instance?

BTW, is there a way to disable akonadi and still work with KDE destop?
