[Bug 463293] Re: Debian .deb failure: mariadb-server: Depends: mariadb-server-5.1 but it is not going to be installed

 

Looks like some kind of confusion between libmariadbclient16 and
libmysqlclient16:

    $ sudo apt-get --dry-run install mariadb-client-5.1

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      mariadb-client-5.1: Depends: libmysqlclient16 (>= 5.1.21-1)
    E: Broken packages

    $ sudo apt-get --dry-run install libmysqlclient16

    Note, selecting libmariadbclient16 instead of libmysqlclient16
    The following extra packages will be installed:
      libmariadbclient16 mysql-common
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      libmariadbclient16 mysql-common
    0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

So there seems to be a dependency on libmysqlclient16 ... however attempting
to install libmysqlclient16 actually chooses to install libmariadbclient16
instead.

Apparently there is some error. I can't think of what's needed to investigate, if some details are required for analysis, we'll be happy to provide them.
