[debian-mysql] libmysqlclient-dev

[Howard Johnson]

Hi,

I'm hoping to build LibreOffice using MariaDB 10.1 rather than MySQL 5.5.

But libmysqlclient-dev is stalling because I don't have MySQL 5.5 
installed.  I get this:

    sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      libmysqlclient-dev : Depends: libmysqlclient18 (= 5.5.52-0+deb8u1)
    but 10.1.18+maria-1~jessie is to be installed
    E: Build-dependencies for libreoffice could not be satisfied.

How is the best way to proceed forward with this?

Is it possible to modify libmysqlclient-dev to accept either MySQL or 
MariaDb, (given that MariaDB is a drop in replacement for MySQL)?

Hope you can help, and if not, if you might suggest who or how I might 
get this done.

Thanks

-- Howard
