Package: libdbd-mysql-perl Version: 4.021-1+b1 Severity: important
Release: Unstable Installing any of mariadb-client or mariadb-server involves a dependency, libmariadbclient18 : Depends: libmysqlclient18 (= 5.5.24-mariadb1~squeeze) but 5.5.24+dfsg-3 is to be installed. It seems that mariadb-client-5.5 depends upon libdbd-mysql-perl, but then libdbd-mysql-perl depends specifically upon libmysqlclient18 (>= 5.5.24+dfsg-1) I am under the impression that libmysqlclient18 5.5.24-mariadb1~squeeze is a drop-in replacement for libmysqlclient18 5.5.24+dfsg-1. Is that correct? For instance, aptitude -v --show-summary=first-package-and-type why libmysqlclient18 shows that many packages depend upon libmysqlclient18, and seem perfectly happy with version 5.5.24-mariadb1~squeeze. And so the specific dependency upon version 5.5.24+dfsg-1 seems to be unnecessary, "heavy-handed", and to only cause problems for mariadb. Is there some specific problem with libdbd-mysql-perl using the 5.5.24-mariadb1~squeeze version of libmysqlclient18? N'est-ce pas? Can libdbd-mysql-perl play nicely with mariadb?
