[debian-mysql] Bug#864662: 50-client.cnf: "socket" option missing in [client] section

[Klaus Keppler]

Package: mariadb-client-10.1
Version: 10.1.23-9+deb9u1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

in the file /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-client.cnf, the "socket" option is missing.
(in 50-server.cnf it is present - but this is not read by client applications)

The effect is, that a normal MySQL/MariaDB client application will use
/tmp/mysql.sock as socket location instead of /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

In previous Debian releases, the correct default socket location was specified in
/etc/mysql/my.cnf, since moving to MariaDB this setting obviously got lost.

I suggest adding the "socket" option to the [client] section to be consistent
with the setting in the [server] section.
