Could you please run and paste the output of dpkg -l | grep -iE 'mysql|maria' on the non-working installation?
I've not a cristal ball but I think that the error messsage reported here is due to the following:
- The user first installed the libmariadbclient18 package from your MariaDB 10.2 repository but this was not working due to the
MDEV-13615bug - The user reinstalled the libmariadbclient18 package from the Debian repository and this worked
- The user wanted to report the issue here and so, he has reinstalled the libmariadbclient18 package from your MariaDB 10.2 repository and here come the error:
2017-08-19 15:46:37 +0000] critical/config: Error: Error while evaluating expression: Could not load library 'libdb_ido_mysql.so.2.7.0': libmariadbclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
I can easily reproduce such error in another context when doing the following
- Installing the libmariadbclient18 package from your MariaDB 10.2 repository
- Downgrading to libmariadbclient18 package from Debian repository
- Upgrading to libmariadbclient18 package from your MariaDB 10.2 repository

As you can see here, the error is identical but raised from another library. You can fix that by doing:
apt-get install --reinstall libmariadb3 |
but once after, the error become as the one showed in the MDEV-13615 bug:

Hope this will help you 
Affected versions should read 10.1.28 too.
otto, could you review this my change to debian packaging?
It should be released next week, so try to do is asap, please.
Thanks!
serg I don't see an attached patch or a link to a patch/Github so I don't know what to review.
In the right pane, there's a link to commit. But here it is, again: https://github.com/mariadb/server/commit/8da9356a010a9
Roger that.
In the long term we are trying to close the delta between what is in downstream distros and upstream MariaDB, and that work currently targets the 10.3 dev branch (mostly done by oerdnj at the moment). This includes unifying the names and contents of the packages, and having the compat packages. As a fix for 10.2 at this point the commit https://github.com/mariadb/server/commit/8da9356a010a92bfd85fc4987cd057b03a0f07e6 seems fine to me.
