Hi, The Salsa CI job "build mariadbclient consumer Python-MySQLdb" is failing on sid: https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/jobs/8590604 The job installs only: apt-get install -qq --yes pkg-config python3-pip pip3 install --break-system-packages mysqlclient On a fresh debian:unstable container with APT::Install-Recommends=1, installing python3-pip pulls in python3-dev, libpython3-dev, libjs-sphinxdoc, etc., but no compiler. As a result, mysqlclient fails to build: [...] building 'MySQLdb._mysql' extension ... x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -fno-strict-overflow -Wsign-compare -DNDEBUG -g -O2 -Wall -fPIC ... error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed: No such file or directory >From the CI log: pip3 install --break-system-packages mysqlclient error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed: No such file or directory ERROR: Failed building wheel for mysqlclient Failed to build mysqlclient error: failed-wheel-build-for-install [...] This job worked around 2025-11-08 (https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/jobs/8565567), likely because unstable previously installed a compiler indirectly via Recommends. python3-pip still has: Recommends: build-essential, python3-dev, ${sphinxdoc:Depends} but APT now installs only python3-dev and sphinxdoc here, not build-essential. Suggested fix: Explicitly install a compiler (for instance, build-essential) in the job before calling pip.
