Public bug reported:

I am running a Ubuntu 16.04 PC with the MythTV packages installed on a
test machine, prior to upgrading my Mythbuntu production PCs from
Mythbuntu 14.04 to Mythbuntu 16.04.  This is so that I can find any
problems I will have with the upgrage process before I do it on the
productions PCs.  All my production MythTV boxes have a full set of
mythtv packages installed, including the optional mythexport and
mythimport packages.

Prior to installing MythTV on the test PC, I changed the default mysql
install to MariaDB instead, due to needing readline in the mysql utility
programs (Oracle has changed to using editline in the latest mysql
versions).  The normal MythTV backend and frontend package sets
installed fine and work with MariaDB, but attempting to install the
mythexport package (and mythimport also) results in apt telling me that
it will uninstall MariaDB and install the real mysql packages.  Looking
at the dependencies for the mythexport and mythimport packages, they
have a dependency for "mysql-client", whereas the mythtv-database
package has a dependency for "mysql-client or virtual-mysql-client or
mysql-client-5.7 or mysql-client-5.6".  I do not believe that mythexport
or mythimport actually need the real mysql and I am sure that they would
work fine with MariaDB, so I would like to request that the mythexport
and mythimport packages get this dependency problem fixed.
