[debian-mysql] Bug#917075: Bug#917075: mariadb-10.3: libmariadb3 causes removal of default-libmysqlclient-dev

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Severity: normal

There is probably room to optimize things, but I cannot see that there
would be a huge bug.


This "error" is visible only using aptitude. Normal apt-get will
resolve it just fine. And even with aptitude, you just select "yes" to
proceed with the suggested dependencies and it will end up installing
the correct packages.


# aptitude install default-libmysqlclient-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  default-libmysqlclient-dev libc-dev-bin{a} libc6-dev{a}
libmariadbclient-dev{ab}
  libmariadbclient-dev-compat{a} linux-libc-dev{a} manpages{a}
manpages-dev{a} zlib1g-dev{a}
