Public bug reported: mysql-client-5.6 (version 5.6.16-1~exp1) only provides the package virtual-mysql-client while the 5.5 version provided mysql-client and virtual-mysql-client.
As a result, other packages like rsyslog-mysql which use the mysql client libraries provided by the mysql-client metapackage will uninstall mysql-client-5.6 and overwrite it with mysql-client-5.5. I think the mysql-client-5.6 should provide the same metapackages the older 5.5 version did. ** Affects: mysql-5.6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-5.6 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314555 Title: mysql-client-5.6 should provide mysql-client To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.6/+bug/1314555/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
