Re: Weird behavior in Fedora 34 server

 

I've reported that issue into Fedora tracker as
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2036572 because if anything
should change, it must be there.

What does not help is that it is not working the same way all the time, in
my empty fedora 34 container it installs mariadb as a dependency as
expected, even when I already have community-mysql-{libs,common} installed
there. Still, I suspect it likely depends on other packages installed.

Miguel, if you can still reproduce it, could you list packages you have
installed and that recommends or suggests either mysql or community-mysql?
(rpm -q --whatsuggests mysql --whatsuggests community-mysql
--whatrecommends mysql --whatrecommends community-mysql)

Thanks,
Honza
