Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial), I've found that libmysqlclient20 depends on mysql-common (>= 5.5) apt-cache show libmysqlclient20 | grep Depends Depends: mysql-common (>= 5.5), libc6 (>= 2.14), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) Can you please change this to simply "mysql-common" instead of the versioned one? As this now makes impossible for example to install the Codership Galera packages from ( deb http://releases.galeracluster.com/ubuntu xenial main ) together with the libdbd-mysql-perl . Now I get this: root@node1:~# apt-get install mysql-wsrep-5.6 libdbd-mysql-perl Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libdbd-mysql-perl : Depends: libmysqlclient20 (>= 5.7.11) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. PS: Btw I've filed an issue to Codership too, maybe there is a way to solve this there: https://github.com/codership/galera/issues/433 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: libmysqlclient20 5.7.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-38.57-generic 4.4.19 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-38-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME-Flashback:Unity Date: Tue Oct 18 13:09:03 2016 KernLog: Logs.var.log.daemon.log: MySQLConf.etc.mysql.conf.d.mysql.cnf: [mysql] MySQLConf.etc.mysql.conf.d.mysqldump.cnf: [mysqldump] quick quote-names max_allowed_packet = 16M MySQLConf.etc.mysql.mysql.conf.d.mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf: [mysqld_safe] syslog MySQLVarLibDirListing: False SourcePackage: mysql-5.7 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) modified.conffile..etc.mysql.mysql.cnf: [modified] modified.conffile..etc.mysql.mysql.conf.d.mysqld.cnf: [modified] mtime.conffile..etc.mysql.mysql.cnf: 2016-07-26T15:25:59.108083 mtime.conffile..etc.mysql.mysql.conf.d.mysqld.cnf: 2016-06-22T10:26:41.060849 ** Affects: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634465 Title: libmysqlclient20 dependency issue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1634465/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
