Hi !
Any comments to the following ?
(Experienced while packaging the new verion of mysql - so don't worry)

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-bench:
mysql-bench depends on mysql-client (>= 3.22.22); however:
Package mysql-client is not installed.

I don't like "Aborted" dpkg processes :-)
The control file of the "bad" .deb was:

(Yes, I know, there are really a lot of conflicts - but tell me a better way !)
read you,

P.S.: [later this evening...] Ahh! Do you know it, too ? It's easy:
While building this package, I had mysql-client installed. This pkg
provides a library libmysqlclient.so.6. The client binary in
mysql-gpl-client needs a libmysqclient.so.6. The package is even
providing it via a virtual package. So:
dh_makeshlib(?) thought that the libmysqlclient was only provided by
mysql-client and added it to the Depends: line. But I inserted
a "Conflicts: mysql-client" line myself to let the mysql-client package
get erased when one installs mysql-gpl-client.
So easy answer, but a bug it is. (But I don't know if dh_* calls dpkg)
