Description of problem: cacti requires whole mysql server package although it works with a remote MySQL server too. Hence, please replace the 'Requires: mysql' by 'Requires: mysql-libs' (or remove it completely as it is satisfied by 'php-mysql' already). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cacti-0.8.7b-1
"requires: mysql" is not the same as "requires: mysql-server"? Are you sure its cacti thats pulling in mysql-server because I've got cacti installed without the whole server. /me hates depbloat too
I ended up removing mysql as php-mysql has it. But "mysql" doesn't include mysql-server.
