[debian-mysql] Bug#782645: and this broke my mariadb completely

[Josef Moosbauer]

Hello Salavatore,

Sorry - it was late in the evening for me:

So 1st of all - Thank god I had a backup:-)

I had this problem in the past, but somehow it stopped at least half a year ago. I normally run (at least once a week) sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
and here is the term.log from yesterday evening:

so I went apt-get remove sudo apt-get remove libmysqlclient18; 
sudo apt-get install   libmysqlclient18=5.5.42+maria-1~wheezy   mariadb-client-5.5=5.5.42+maria-1~wheezy   mariadb-client-core-5.5=5.5.42+maria-1~wheezy;
sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient18 mariadb-client-5.5 mariadb-client-core-5.5 mariadb-server-5.5 mariadb-server-core-5.5;
systemctl start mysql;

Somehow along the way I am not able to reconstruct I also lost libdbd-mysql. after reinstalling it works again,
although running sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (without the -y) still wants to get rid of mariadb.
