Thanks for pointing this out. I've not been aware of it. This dependency exists since several versions of root3. I have had no user complaints about it.
What is the best way to fix it? Just depend on mysql12-dev and mysql12-shlibs (as in 10.3) or is there a more clever way to do it?
Cheers,

I think that is going to cause a problem if a user builds the package with mysql-dev installed (therefore root3 is probably linked against files from mysql-shlibs like libmysqlclient.10*.dylib) but then the user installs mysql12-shlibs (which provides libmysqlclient.12*.dylib instead) and removes mysql-shlibs. Depends is still satisfied, but now root3 links against non-existant files, no?
I don't mean to single you out, Remi, as I think there are other packages that do this kind of thing. This commit just reminded me to finally post about it.
