[webmin-devel] [MySQL and Debian] "DBD::mysql is not installed on your system"

[Martin M. <mm...@ag...>]

Howdy folks,

I just played around with an unused feature on my server: MySQL.

When I hit the MySQL-Module it says:

Warning: The Perl module DBD::mysql is not installed on your system,
so Webmin will not be able to reliably access your MySQL database.
Click here to install it now.

Well, but the problem ist, that on at least Debian 3 Woody you cannot
install this Module as it is shown in the README ...

[...]
Linux/Debian

    Install the packages

      mysql-client mysql-server mysql-doc mysql-common
      libdbi-perl lidbd-mysql-perl

    No idea how one does install these under Debian, but I am
    sure you know. :-)
[...]

Maybe Webmin should know this and if it is on a Debian-System it
should reach for an apt-get to install ...

Sorry, mysql-client is already the newest version.
Sorry, mysql-server is already the newest version.
Sorry, mysql-common is already the newest version.
Sorry, libdbi-perl is already the newest version.
E: Couldn't find package lidbd-mysql-perl
[...]

Even if it is broken, bit I think that "libdbi-perl" is the package
corresponding to "DBD::mysql" and will if necessary install other
packages as needed.

But maybe I only have a faulty system and for the experts, here is the
Webmin-Output from Installing.
