The postfix-mysql package for 3.1.3-1 is compiled against Debian's mariadb (the default MySQL implementation for the next release). See https://packages.debian.org/unstable/postfix-mysql - did you try it with libmariadbclient18? Simply installing postfix-mysql will cause that to be installed. Based on the information provided, the packages provided by MariaDB are not binary compatible with the Debian packages. For postfix-mysql to work with them, it would have to be rebuilt locally. This is obviously not something that the postfix maintainers can provide support for. It might be worth a discussion with the Debian mariadb maintainers and the external package providers to determine if they can be made more compatible. Either way, postfix is just a bystander. Scott K
