Mongodb broken by todays updates

Post by xircon »

What the hell is it? What does it do? I had noticed it occasionally failing to start before today, so am tempted to just remove it. What do people think?

I have not had any breakages, but I have not installed all of the most recent updates.

The description in Synaptic reads An object/document-oriented database (metapackage) It is not installed in my system. You could go to the package in Synaptic and check its properties for dependent packages to see if there is anything on your system that needs it.

It depends on itself, (mongodb-server, mongodb-dev) it has always been on my install don't know why. If I try to uninstall it affects nothing else, so bye bye mongo :)

In the Properties tab where you saw this, click the Dependencies drop down button and select Dependents to see what needs this package. Mongodb needs the two listed.

From it's wiki it looks like it is used by on-line databases:

Sounds safe unless you do something with managing documents in a Javascript type database like one of those above.
