[MDEV-5625] Debian package mariadb-client-5.5 lacks dependency on libterm-readkey-perl Created: 2014-02-07  Updated: 2014-04-18  Resolved: 2014-04-18

Debian Wheezy



 Description   

Package mariadb-client-5.5 provides innotop (thank you!) which in turn requires libterm-readkey-perl. However, that dependency is currently not defined.

I propose to add a "suggests" (or even a "recommends") dependency, following the approach of the stock Debian package for mysql-client-5.5.

Another issue (already covered by MDEV-4537) is that the shipped version is a quite old one (about 5 years old).

If the shipped innotop doesnt get upgraded, removing innotop from the packages would be a solution as it might end up replacing a more recent innotop installed by the user at each MariaDB package upgrade.

I'd love to see it updated instead of removed since at least Debian doesn't provide it as a separate package. In order for MariaDB to retain the status of being a true drop-in replacement for MySQL you want to keep innotop for as long as the equivalent MySQL package does.

Thanks
