It looks like there's libmariadb-dev-compat package, which installs mysql_config (as a symlink to mariadb_config).

It works, but
apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev

still fails. I guess nothing should fail. Also, the packages should install all at once, not forcing the users to guess what package provides what.

As far as I can see, the package libmariadbclient-dev was renamed to libmariadb-dev in 10.2.

So when you're trying to install libmariadbclient-dev, you get libmariadbclient-dev 10.1.38 from Ubuntu repository. That's why you get a conflict.

The key here is '1:10.4.4+maria~bionic is to be installed'.

It seem you are now mixing both the MariaDB 10.1 packages in Ubuntu 18.04 and packages you have manually installed from mariadb.org.

Run dpkg -l | grep -iE 'maria|mysql|galera' to see what you have installed. Remove everything that has a plus sign in the version and deactivate any mariadb.org repositories.

This is not a bug in the program, so closing issue.
