Package: php7.3-mysql
Version: 7.3.0~rc2-2
Severity: grave

After update to 7.3.0~rc2-2 (sid), mysqli extension stopped working. It can't connect to MySQL server, giving the following error message:

PHP message: PHP Warning: mysqli::__construct(): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [caching_sha2_password]

It worked before the update (version 7.3.0~alpha3-1, I think).

caching_sha2_password is the default authentication method in MySQL 8.0.
