 Description   

I have a criticall app that requires
libmariadbclient-dev
but it's impossible to find or install since it is not in the repositories

apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev
 
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 
 libmariadbclient-dev : Depends: libmariadbclient18 (= 1:10.1.47-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) but 1:10.5.8+maria~bionic is to be installed
 
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
 
 
 
apt-cache policy libmariadbclient-dev
 
libmariadbclient-dev:
 
  Installed: (none)
 
  Candidate: 1:10.1.47-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
 
  Version table:
 
     1:10.1.47-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 500
 
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/universe amd64 Packages
 
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/universe amd64 Packages
 
     1:10.1.29-6 500
 
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages

so how do I solve this riddle? Each version should have its version of libmariadbclient-dev in the repository.

libmariadbclient-dev package doesn't exist since 10.2, we have libmariadb-dev that provides libmariadbclient-dev.

I would expect the package manager to install libmariadb-dev automatically for you, if your app depends on libmariadbclient-dev.

But in this case libmariadbclient-dev version 10.1.47 comes from bionic repos, while version 10.5.8 packages come from mariadb repos.

otto, is there some way to tell apt to do the right thing without manual apt install libmariadb-dev ?

This is not a bug.

You are trying to install libmariadbclient-dev in Bionic, which tries to install MariaDB 10.1, but you have also enabled MariaDB 10.5 repositories. Logically, you should be using MariaDB 10.5 packages, which libmariadbclient-dev is not of. Instead you have libmariadb-dev (MariaDB Connector C, version 3).

What exactly is your `criticall app that requires libmariadbclient-dev`? It should either work directly with libmariadb-dev or if it expects to find a special name for a .so file you can install libmariadb-dev-compat.

Please close the case. I solved the issue. the package is not necessary.
