</span>So, what happens if I have any application installed, that relies on mysql?<br>
<br>
I do not know that I have any application installed, that relies on<br>
mysql, but, it had not occured to me, that mythtv would rely on<br>
mariadb, or, any other database, so, I assume that it is possible that<br>
I have some application(s) installed, that rely on mysql.<br>
