Package: libdbd-mysql-perl
Version: 4.021-1+b1
Severity: important
Release: Unstable
Installing any of mariadb-client or mariadb-server involves a dependency,
libmariadbclient18 : Depends: libmysqlclient18 (= 5.5.24-mariadb1~squeeze) but
5.5.24+dfsg-3 is to be installed.
It seems that mariadb-client-5.5 depends upon libdbd-mysql-perl, but then
libdbd-mysql-perl depends specifically upon
libmysqlclient18 (>= 5.5.24+dfsg-1)
I am under the impression that libmysqlclient18 5.5.24-mariadb1~squeeze is a
drop-in replacement for libmysqlclient18 5.5.24+dfsg-1. Is that correct? For
instance,
aptitude -v --show-summary=first-package-and-type why libmysqlclient18
shows that many packages depend upon libmysqlclient18, and seem perfectly
happy with version 5.5.24-mariadb1~squeeze.
And so the specific dependency upon version 5.5.24+dfsg-1 seems to be
unnecessary, "heavy-handed", and to only cause problems for mariadb. Is there
some specific problem with libdbd-mysql-perl using the 5.5.24-mariadb1~squeeze
version of libmysqlclient18?
N'est-ce pas? Can libdbd-mysql-perl play nicely with mariadb?

Since libmariadbclient18 no more depends on libmysqlclient18,
libdbd-mysql-perl's versioned dependency on libmysqlclient18 should
be no more an issue. Hence I'm herewith closing this bug report.
