Downgrading the dependency to iproute will not help, as that's not available either. The last mariadb-server-10.0 didn't depend on either iproute nor lsof. I've now tried finding out why the dependencies were added. For lsof, I only find one script that uses it (or errors out if it can't find it), so maybe there you could use a depend on "lsof [linux-any]". As the binary "ip" from iproute2 has a too generic name for a search, I can't easily tell why or where it is used, but maybe that can be solved likewise.
