True, but this is not my point. > What is the correct way to insert "libmariadbclient18 (>= 5.5.1-1) | > libmysqlclient18 (>= 5.5.1-1)" in there? This is not a good idea I think... If libmariadbclient18 had a lib named "libmysqlclient.so.18" (which the "compat" to libmysqlclient18 suggests, it still shouldn't be called so imho). Anyway: you _completely_ missed my point. sbuild (read: debian buildds) will only take the *first alternative* of build-depends and if that doesn't work fail. Thius your suggested libmariadbclient-dev | libmysqlclient-dev will *NOT* work. Regards, Rene -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
