[debian-mysql] Bug#1135143: mariadb-client-core: /usr/bin/mysqlcheck to /usr/bin/maridb-check symlink does not exist

[Jim Barber]

Ah, thank you.

I was not aware of the mariadb-client-compat package.

The cron script comes from a third-party debian package, so I didn't
want to mess with it.
I had created my own `/usr/bin/mysqlcheck -> mariadb-check` symlink as
a workaround, but now that I know of the mariadb-client-compat
package, I have removed that symlink and installed the package
instead.

Thanks, this report can be closed.
