Description
Compatibility symlinks for MySQL are broken for both i386/amd64 builds.
For instance, after installing the MariaDB server and client library as usually, including the libmariadb-dev package we get:
root@stretch:~# LANG=C ls -la /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 15 01:20 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so -> libmysqlclient.so.18
|
root@stretch:~# LANG=C ls -la /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18
|
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18': No such file or directory
|
However:
root@stretch:~# LANG=C ls -la /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient*
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 15 01:20 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so.18 -> libmariadb.so.3
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 15 01:20 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so.19 -> libmariadb.so.3
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 15 01:20 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so.20 -> libmariadb.so.3
|
This pose problem for softwares that build against 
Furthermore, with your changes in MariaDB 10.2 client library (you have added your own mariadb_version.h header file), there are now several FTBFS issues with historical projects such as PHP that expect the mysql_version.h header file included in to the mysql.h header file.
Thank you.
