I am not the maintainer of this package, so I don't know what the decisions at that time were. But most packages in jessie then depended on mysql-client. And since mariadb-client did not provide mysql-client as it is in stretch, the dependencies would result in the installation of mysql-client which conflicts with mariadb-client etc. .. So, sorry this is not a bug in postfixadmin. And since jessie is oldstable there is no way to upload a new package just to change anything in the dependencies. > (Is it normal that apt-get does not show any [Y/n/..] prompt in applying this > breaking solution?) > > Thanks. > > apt-get install postfixadmin > .. > Remv mariadb-server [10.0.32-0+deb8u1] > Remv mariadb-server-10.0 [10.0.32-0+deb8u1] > Remv mariadb-server-core-10.0 [10.0.32-0+deb8u1] > Remv mariadb-client-10.0 [10.0.32-0+deb8u1] [wordpress:amd64 ] > Remv mariadb-client-core-10.0 [10.0.32-0+deb8u1] [wordpress:amd64 ] > Inst mysql-client-5.5 (5.5.59-0+deb8u1 Debian-Security:8/oldstable [amd64]) > .. If you apt ist configured normaly, it should have asked you about the removes. It is not removing packages if you do not explicitly say yes (or have in you config the equivalent).
