Description:
Akonadi can be configured to use PostgreSQL instead of MariaDB, and I've done this. Postgresql is already an optional dependency. I want to uninstall mariadb but that breaks the dependency of akonadi.

Additional info:
* akonadi 16.12.0-1 (latest version as of 2016-12-18)

Steps to reproduce:
* install akonadi and postgresql. mariadb is installed as dep
* configure Akonadi to only use PostgreSQL, not MariaDB (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE#PostgreSQL)
* try to uninstall MariaDB → breaks dependency so Postgres would be removed too
* remove mariadb with `pacman -Rdd mariadb` → no problems apart from pacman complaining each time you upgrade the system
This task depends upon
