Bug Description

I have mysql-server-5.1, mysql-client-5.1, and mysql-server-core-5.1 installed. When I attempt to install akonadi-server so that I can use korganizer, it attempts to install mysql-server-core-5.0, which naturally conflicts with mysql-server-core-5.1 and fails to install. I don't want to downgrade to mysql 5.0, as the development work I do requires 5.1. I am using the latest Kubuntu Karmic alpha with the latest packages.

At this point I appear to be having the exact opposite problem: akonadi-server is forcing the install of mysql-server-core-5.1, which is preventing me from installing mysql-server-5.0, which is what I actually want to be able to use.

It seems to me that whatever akonadi-server needs, it shoudln't conflict with what database server the user wants to install.
