            Fedora considered this symbol deprecated and doesn't export it, but apparently it's still needed on Debian.

            The latest version of pam_mysql.so from Wheezy repo does indeed use make_scrambled_password.

            there're anecdotal evidences that ProFTPd crashes too. It may be the same issue or different.

            tonybaldwin it will be fixed in the next version, you can downgrade mariadb till the new version is released (have a look at http://pastie.org/8784056).
            use apt-mark hold mariadb-client mariadb-server libmariadbclient18 to stop debian from upgrading again and apt-mark unhold mariadb-client mariadb-server libmariadbclient18 to undo after the new version is released.

            I was instructed to roll stuff back, according to this: pastie.org/8784056
            which worked.

            URGENT! I have mariadb 10.0.9 version. Need to downgrade it so that make_srambled_password is included in libmysqlclient.so.18.
            How can I achieve that? My mail/web server is down for this issue.

            Plase help!!!

            ------------

            Ok figured it out. Just use this repo to downgrade to version 10.0.8

            deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/mariadb-10.0.8/repo/debian wheezy main

            Ufff! What a mess.

            This bug is really annoying one everytime i do a new installation (quite often as we are installing MariaDB on every VPS) i need to immediately do a downgrade to 5.5.35. Maybe you can release a 5.5.35.1 with only this one bug fixed, hm?

            Yeah that would be great. You can also release 10.0.9.1 with this fix.
