As you can see, it upgraded default-mysql-client:amd64 (1.0.1, 1.0.2) and removed default-mysql-server:amd64 (1.0.1).
I do not know if it helps but I added my system policy at the end of this mail.

As far as I remember, I installed a mysql client but never a server.
I think the server came when I installed dolibarr.
But it was 2 years ago, when Jessie was the testing.

And I checked dolibarr but default-mysql-server is only "Recommends", not "Depends".

Just like the apache2 package.

It looks strange to me an app based on a LAMP stack just recommends its components.

I do not know what you think.

I think the removal comes from the lake of dependency between dolibarr and default-mysql-server or similar.

I checked all the mysql server's packages' reverse dependencies and I have nothing installed depending on them.

I'll try to simulate it by installing dolibarr on a Debian Jessie and upgrading it to testing.

I'll keep you posted.
