Then that's a separate release-critical bug, because the i386 binaries in the archive are built against a version of libmysqlclient other than the one listed as a build-dependency. > So I assumed the binary packages were linked against this library.

If you build against libmysqlclient12-dev, the binaries will be linked against libmysqlclient12 and use libmysqlclient12. That's not what happened here. It's entirely possible that simply doing a proper rebuild of the i386 binaries against libmysqlclient12 will also fix whatever problem you're experiencing... > Taken together, all I can say is that the currently available package is > broke, > and this has been confirmed independently by several users.

It would be helpful if you would try to rebuild the current source package as-is, rather than rebuilding from CVS sources, to confirm whether or not that fixes the problem. It's preferable if this can be fixed *just* by rebuilding the i386 binaries, instead of by changing the build-dependency to point to libmysqlclient14, since the former is easier to push into sarge than the latter.
