-- Centos MariaDB package dependency problems for libmysqlclient15.so https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463161 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OurDelta- developers, which is the registrant for OurDelta. Status in Maria: New Status in OurDelta - Builds for MySQL,Maria: New Bug description: Here is my understanding of the problem after some discussions. Someone please correct me if anything is incorrect or incomplete. On Centos 5, there is a base package called "mysql". This package includes libmysqlclient.so.15, which is a dependency of many other packages (anything that needs to connect to MySQL, for example DBD::mysql). The base package "mysql" also includes client programs, like /usr/bin/mysql. Since MariaDB also includes /usr/bin/mysql, it conflicts with the base "mysql" package and has to replace it. However, MariaDB does not include libmysqlclient.so.15. It has libmysqlclient16.so (difference between MySQL 5.0 and MySQL 5.1). So the root problem seems to be that the base "mysql" package in Centos should have been split, with a seperate package 'libmysqlclient15' containing the client library, like it is done in eg. Ubuntu. Since this is not the case, any package that wants to replace /usr/bin/mysql needs to somehow provide libmysqlclient.so.15. Otherwise any installed 3rd party package build against the libmysqlclient.so.15 will break when installing MariaDB. Proposed solution: Ourdelta already provides builds based on MySQL 5.0, which includes libmysqlclient.so.15. In these builds, the libmysqlclient.so.15 could be split into a separate package libmysqlclient15-ourdelta (say), which does _not_ contain any other binaries like /usr/bin/mysql. Or maybe this split is already done, don't know. Then the MariaDB packages could provide/replace the base 'mysql' package, but depend on 'libmysqlclient15-ourdelta' (or whatever it is called). This would then make sure that both libmysqlclient.so.15 (for old packages) and libmysqlclient.so.16 (for MariaDB stuff) are available. The reason I suggest pulling in a 5.0-based ourdelta package from a separate build is that we need the MariaDB packaging fully automated in Buildbot. This is much harder if we have to pull in some magic .so file from another location or build a separate mysql 5.0 tree as part of the 5.1 build. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ourdelta-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ourdelta-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
