A question has been posted to the Knowledgebase:

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server and MariaDB 5.5.23

After installing fresh mariadb, I'm having troubles using some software
compiled with the mysql support.

For ex. mysql2 ruby gem: Incorrect MySQL client library version! This
gem was compiled for 5.5.23-MariaDB but the client library is 5.1.61

Quick investigation took me into this conclusions: mariadb-client-5.5
introduces new libmariadbclient18, but depends on libdbd-mysql-perl
which depends on libmysqlclient16.

So after install we have 2 libraries: libmysqlclient.so.16(from
original mysql) and libmysqlclient.so.18(from mariadb).

And default libmysqlclient.so is symlinked to libmysqlclient.so.16

Can this be solved in some way?
