Zabbix wants to remove MariaDB

[jgjh151]

When trying to install on Debian 7 with MariaDb 5.5, Zabbix wants to install MySQL and remove MariaDb.

I would prefer not to do this. Is there a way to get this to just use the existing MariaDb?

 wget http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.2/debian/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_2.2-1+wheezy_all.deb
dpkg -i zabbix-release_2.2-1+wheezy_all.deb
apt-get update

apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php

Sorry can't find info anywhere with instructions on how to get around zabbix wanting to uninstall mariadb.

This worked:

apt-get --no-install-recommends install zabbix-server-mysql
