Bug#454081: Class not found JDBC4Connection

[Julien Bernard]

Package: libmysql-java
Version: 5.1.5+dfsg-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

when trying to instance a Connection with a
org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource and a valid Connection URL, a
ClassNotFoundException is thrown, and no Connection is available.

Here is an extract of the output:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.JDBC4Connection
