| Description |
|
To work around an issue with binary incompatibility witht he mariadbclient libraries, O tried to install the libmysqlclient libraries. However, the prebuilt debian packages for mariadb make this impossible, as the server explicitly depends on the mariadbclient package, which conflicts with the libmysqlclient. I think only the metapackage should depend on both server and client, otherwise it is impossible to install the mysql client (required by many programs) alongside the mariadb server. |

otto, I think in your version of packages you might have addressed the problem already, have you? |

Yes, installing libmariadbclient18 and libmysqlclient18 alongside each other is possible in the official Debian packages. This and other fixes will be upstream as part of |
