--- Comment #11 from David Cook <[email protected]> ---
Hi Cornelius,

Yes, as I noted previously, Debian only has the MariaDB client. As you say,
there would be risk installing directly from MySQL. 

Fortunately, I've managed to assist the DBD::mysql author in troubleshooting
this, and he's written a Perl-based fix. It's not on MetaCPAN yet, but when
adds it... then there's options. 

Once it's up there, I can reply on the Debian bugs and see if they'll backport
it.

If they don't... either you or the Koha community could try to roll their own
libdbd-mysql-perl but since it uses C libraries that would need to be done for
every supported OS. Not fun. Not impossible but not fun.

Btw, the problem isn't with DBD::mysql. Rather, the problem is with
libmariadb3. The author of DBD::mysql is willing to code a workaround so that
libmariadb3 will still work, but MariaDB is the problem - not the Perl library.
