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.
