The issue is that if you don't use MariaDB, you can't use mytop. For example I use percona-xtradb-cluster, and installing mariadb-client-10.1 is prevented by mysql-client-core-5.7 (provided by percona-xtradb-cluster-client-5.7). I can't find any sources for mytop, so here's some options: - add Jessie sources, install mytop, remove Jessie sources (yes, it's a really bad practice) - download mariadb-client-10.1.deb, extract mytop binary, copy it in /usr/bin/ (as defined in the .deb) mytop was in «utils» before that, and it was great this way. Think of it as apache2-utils, which doesn't depend on apache2, and is really useful even without apache2. So far with those two options, I think we can ignore this for Stretch, but that would be great to split it again for Debian 10. Regards, Yvan.
