Problem: mariadb-client-5.5.46-13.1.x86_64 conflicts with namespace:otherproviders(mysql-client) provided by MariaDB-client-10.1.13-1.x86_64
 
 Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
 
  do not install MariaDB-client-10.1.13-1.x86_64
 
  do not install MariaDB-server-10.1.13-1.x86_64
 
 Solution 2: do not install mariadb-client-5.5.46-13.1.x86_64

Same for 5.5, 10.0.

The workaround is to specify the repo:

sudo zypper install -y --from mariadb MariaDB-server MariaDB-client
 
...
 
Resolving package dependencies...
 
 
 
The following 6 NEW packages are going to be installed:
 
  boost-license1_53_0 galera libboost_program_options1_53_0 MariaDB-client 
  MariaDB-common MariaDB-server 
 
 
6 new packages to install.

Installation test in buildbot does not catch it because it installs actual RPMs files rather than refers to a repo, and installing files also works. That's another workaround, although in general less convenient than specifying the repo.

I've added the above-mentioned workaround to the buildbot tests, if it ever gets fixed, please reassign it back to me so I could remove it.

It turns out we even have a note about in the repo configurator:
https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/#mirror=netinch&distro_release=opensuse13-amd64--opensuse13&distro=openSUSE&version=10.1

When MariaDB 10.1 is installed over the default mariadb provided by openSUSE, the workaround does not help:

rpm -qa | grep -iE 'maria|mysql|galera|percona'
 
mariadb-errormessages-5.5.46-13.1.x86_64
 
libmysqlclient18-5.5.46-13.1.x86_64
 
mariadb-client-5.5.46-13.1.x86_64
 
mariadb-5.5.46-13.1.x86_64
 
 
 
sudo zypper --non-interactive --no-gpg-checks install -y --from local MariaDB-server MariaDB-client
 
..
 
2 Problems:

Same for installing over mysql-community-server:

I don't think we can fix it. zypper compares package names case-insensitively, and SUSE repository has mariadb-client package:

$ sudo zypper -v install mArIaDb-cLiEnT
 
Selecting 'MariaDB-client-10.1.24-1.x86_64' from repository 'local' for installation.
 
Selecting 'mariadb-client-5.5.46-13.1.x86_64' from repository 'openSUSE-13.1-Update' for installation.
 
Problem: mariadb-client-5.5.46-13.1.x86_64 conflicts with namespace:otherproviders(mysql-client) provided by MariaDB-client-10.1.24-1.x86_64
 
 Solution 1: do not install mariadb-client-5.5.46-13.1.x86_64
 
 Solution 2: do not install MariaDB-client-10.1.24-1.x86_64
 
 
 
Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c):

See? Letter case does not matter, both packages are selected. Not selected as dependencies, directly selected by the command line.

On the other hand, installing our packages over SUSE ones, works without any additional options:

$ sudo zypper -v in mariadb-client
 
Selecting 'MariaDB-client-10.1.24-1.x86_64' from repository 'cpack' for installation.
 
'mariadb-client' is already installed.
 
No update candidate for 'mariadb-client-5.5.46-13.1.x86_64'. The highest available version is already installed.
 
 
 
The following 2 NEW packages are going to be installed:
 
  MariaDB-client  10.1.24-1
 
  MariaDB-common  10.1.24-1
 
 
 
The following package is going to be REMOVED:
 
  mariadb-client  5.5.46-13.1
 
 
 
2 new packages to install, 1 to remove.
 
Overall download size: 28.3 MiB. After the operation, additional 152.2 MiB will 
be used.
 
Continue? [y/n/? shows all options] (y):

Apparently zypper treats it as an upgrade and a higher version wins.
