[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1336005@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package akonadi - 1.13.0-2ubuntu3

---------------
akonadi (1.13.0-2ubuntu3) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Still prefer mysql 5.6, but allow any mysql implementation that provides
    virtual-mysql-server-core and virtual-mysql-client-core
    (LP: #1336005)
  * Force dependency on akonadi-backend-mysql for akonadi-server.
    (was accidentally dropped in the last debian merge)

Title:
  akonadi-server too dependent on MySQL and prevent percona instalation

Status in akonadi package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in akonadi source package in Trusty:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  There are a few serious packaging problems with akonadi:

  1 - akonadi-server depends on akonadi-backend-mysql.
        It can also work with postgresql and sqllite, but mysql is mandatory, it should be optional.

  2 - akonadi-backend depends on either mysql-server-core-5.5 or
  mariadb-server-core-5.5

  2.1 - depending on a specific version of mysql is very bad.  If there is a need for a feature on 5.5, it should be something like:
  mysql-server-core >= 5.5.  As 5.6 has all feature of 5.5, it still cannot be installed.
  The same goes to the clients too.

  2.2 - the percona-server-(server|client) should be added to the mix.
  PPA: http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.5/installation/apt_repo.html

  Basically the choice is either use mysql|mariadb 5.5 or no kde.
