[gentoo-user] Has MySQL become compulsory?

[Dave Jones <Dave.Jones@xs4all.nl>]

Hi

Ran an eix-sync followed by an emerge -puDNv world.

It reported that my 'profile' was no longer supported, and suggested
switching to the 'default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop', which I did.

Retried the emerge -puDNv world, with the following result:

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
">=x11-libs/qt-sql-4.5.0:4[mysql]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/qt-sql-4.5.2 (Change USE: +mysql)
(dependency required by "app-office/akonadi-server-1.2.1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kdepimlibs-4.3.1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kdnssd-4.3.1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kcontrol-4.3.1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kdebase-meta-4.3.1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "world" [argument])

Result of 'eix x11-libs/qt-sql' :

[I] x11-libs/qt-sql
Available versions:  (4)  4.4.2 4.4.2-r1 4.5.1 4.5.2 ~4.5.3
        {debug firebird iconv mysql odbc pch postgres qt3support sqlite}
Installed versions:  4.5.2(4)(20:32:44 10/10/09)(iconv qt3support sqlite
-debug -firebird -mysql -odbc -pch -postgres)

I do not want either mysql or KDE4 on my 'stable' desktop host.

Any ideas what's happening?  Or how to fix it without installing mysql?

Cheers, Dave
