Package: rsyslog-mysql
Version: 8.2512.0-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
The rsyslog-mysql binary package currently declares:
Recommends: default-mysql-client | virtual-mysql-client
Suggests: default-mysql-server | virtual-mysql-server
In Debian, MariaDB has been the default provider of the MySQL
client/server interfaces since Debian 9 ("stretch"). Today, the
default-mysql-* metapackages resolve to MariaDB (for example,
default-mysql-client -> mariadb-client-compat -> mariadb-client, and
mariadb-client provides virtual-mysql-client, similarly for the server
side).
To better reflect what Debian users actually install (and to make the
dependency names clearer), please consider switching rsyslog-mysql to:
Recommends: mariadb-client | virtual-mysql-client
Suggests: mariadb-server | virtual-mysql-server
This is a small Debian packaging-only change and keeps the
virtual-mysql-* alternatives for other providers.
Patch attached.
Thanks,
Aquila Macedo
