Package: sysbench
Version: 0.4.12-1.2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

under Debian testing, sysbench requires root/sudo privileges to run.
Otherwise, this happens:

$ sysbench --version                                                            
                                                                                
                                                                             
sysbench: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.18: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

My amazing workaround is to do this:

$ sudo sysbench --version
sysbench 0.4.12

Running sysbench with elevated rights should not be necessary. It was
not necessary with the same sysbench version under Debian stable
(Jessie). It also is not necessary with the current Linux Mint.
