[debian-mysql] Bug#968854: libmysqld-dev uninstallable in Debian Sid due to recent mysql-8.0 upload

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Package: libmysqld-dev
Severity: critical

Steps to reproduce and result:

apt-get install -y libmysqld-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libmysqlclient-dev : Breaks: libmysqld-dev (< 8.0) but 5.7.26-1+b1 is
to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Quickly looking at the mysql-8.0 sources there seems to be a lot of
files that have been moved around, changed paths etc. I hope you have
a good CI setup to verify all those changes were made in a backwards
compatible way.
