ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: mysql-workbench (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-14.34-generic 3.13.5 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-14-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.13.2-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Mar 4 07:38:08 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-02-08 (23 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Alpha amd64 (20140207) ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=en_AU:en - TERM=xterm - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANGUAGE=en_AU:en + TERM=xterm + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: mysql-workbench UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + + + SRU DOCUMENTATION + + [IMPACT] + mysql-workbench as the default GUI cannot be installed on systems where the maintainer either opted to use mysql 5.6 or mariadb. + + [TEST CASE] + Install mariadb-client and try to add mysql-workbench. Aptitude will not allow this and you will be forced to revert to mysql-client version 5.5 or abort the installation of mysql-workbench. + + [REGRESSION POTENTIAL] + There is some potential for regression here since we are dropping a depends to a recommends. + + Debian upstream did this exact change in version 6.2.3+dfsg-7 of the + package so it seems unlikely this would be improper. Nonetheless, there + should be some testing done to verify there is no obvious breakage by + running the GUI. + + I tried to do some code inspection but grepping for mysql (the command + that would be called) was too generic to be useful.
