afaik it's a ordering of choices, mysql will be matched by it and be 1st choice. (i can be wrong of course; but anssi seemed to think this would be possible) of course, there's another simple solution, i can put the preference on mariadb... :-P with regards to provides; are you sure all mysql requirements are with libmysqlclient.so.18? maybe i have too much provides, but since it's a drop-in replacement, i see no evil in that.
