This is because Maria and MySQL haven't done what MIT Kerberos and Heimdal did to allow the -dev packages to be coinstallable. If we're going to keep both in the archive for a while, I strongly encourage that. See the libkrb5-multidev and heimdal-multidev packages. > (Besides that we'd have to think if we want to name the binary package > libdbd-mariadb-perl and/or if we want to make some more changes to it > and/or if it should Conflict/Break libdbd-mysql-perl etc. But that's for > later ...) Unfortunately, the Perl modules are going to have to conflict with each other unless you rename the module, which you almost certainly don't want to do. Coinstallability is a harder problem for Perl modules. (I'm actually working on writing a brand new Perl module for Kerberos bindings in part to be able to address this issue upstream.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
