[debian-mysql] Bug#920619: libmariadbclient18: Upgrading from 10.1 to 10.3 breaks libaprutil1-dbd-mysql

[Markus Treinen]

Package: libmariadbclient18
Version: 10.1.37-0+deb9u1
Severity: important

Dear maintainer,

after upgrading mariadb 1:10.1.37-3 to mariadb 1:10.3.12-2, my apache2
failed to start.

I'm using DBD MySQL in Apache2.4 to do basic http authentication against
a mariadb database. This module uses libaprutil1-dbd-mysql 1.6.1-3+b1.
Apache2 complained about not being able to load apr_dbd_mysql-1.so.

After some extensive investigation I stumbled upon the changelog of mariadb-10.3:
  * Make libmariadbclient18 Breaks old libpam-mysql and libdbd-mysql-perl
This led me to this package and after downgrading only
libmariadbclient18 to 1:10.1.37-3, apache2 started without any problems.

I suppose, libaprutil1-dbd-mysql should also be added to the
Breaks-list.

Cheers,
Markus
