One MAJOR CAVEAT
_If your system has MYSQL in use DO NOT use this deb_ , It has Mariadb
as a dependency.
If you load Mariadb on a system using MYSQL, Oracle have added a trap.
and the apt data will be corrupted.
You will end up having to reinstall the OS.
IF you are already using Mariadb, there is no problem.
Mariadb was a fork from MYSQL and uses the same file locations. Which
caused acrimony between developers of each.
If you are using MYSQL on Ubuntu 20, or Linux Mint 20, download the
source code ,follow the instructions here:-
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_build.html
AFTER running "./configure" check the db support boxes are unchecked, ie
no support.
If the database support is not there proceed with "make"
IF you require database support, use the switch when running ./configure
to select the one you want to use
The git clone at the moment when you run ./configure does not add
database support by default.
IMO it is a mistake to supply a .deb which has a dependency which can
break the OS,
I'm not sure if the xenial deb has the same dependency for Mariadb.
I ,like many others have found out the hard way as Oracle MYSQL is no
longer free, so there is the temptation to use MariaDB.
However, the community version of MYSQL is free, it also contains the
same trap to screw up the system if MariaDB is loaded.
NOTE: many of the Linux OS's are still using old versions of MYSQL, so
the answer of "what a load of rubbish mine works fine"
is ill advised.
