Bug Description

Binary package hint: synaptic

I searched to find what version of Zabbix is in the new version of Ubuntu 9.10.
I noticed this Zabbix Proxy package for either the mysql database or the postgresql database.
The package "zabbix-proxy-mysql" has in its description that it is for PostgreSQL, and the pacakge "zabbix-proxy-pgsql" has a description that it is for MySQL database. So the description does not match the name.
Looking at dependencies for each, the name is correct (as the zabbix-proxy-mysql requires MySQL), so therefore the descriptions are mixed up.
Thanks.
Cory

The descriptions are still misleading in Ubuntu Natty. See
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/zabbix-proxy-mysql mentions PostgreSQL and
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/zabbix-proxy-pgsql mentions MySQL.

I also linked to a bug report in Debian, concerning the same issue.
