[debian-mysql] Bug#1018063: Bug#1018063: Regression: mariadb client default charset changed breaks compatibility

[Georg Richter]

Hi Faustin,

sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation for a few days.

default character set changed here:
https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-connector-c/commit/d7461f7c4f6e36b4916f3dda2b64ac0cae88868c

Issues: CONC-547, MDEV-25485.
Github discussion:
https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/1722#issuecomment-821027426

I'm not sure how Debian builds Connector/C, the default character set can
be specified by cmake option -DDEFAULT_CHARSET=latin1.

I just checked server builds: 10.3 - 10.6 have default=latin1, 10.7 and
later have default=utf8mb4

I hope this helps

/Georg
