MariaDB 5.5 is now in Debian testing, and there is the pacakge libmariadbclient18 that includes a sofile with the same name. Could you consider changing the source package so that it would build two versions, libdbd-mysql-perl and libdbd-mariadb-perl, with the latter one using -lmariadbclient18 (libmariadbclient18.so, from package libmariadbclient18)? -- Check out our blog at http://seravo.fi/blog and follow @ottokekalainen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
