Public bug reported:
Although `apt install mariadb-server` results in the auth_ed25519.so
plugin being installed, `apt install mariadb-client` *doesn't* provide
the equivalent client_ed25519.so, resulting in the ability to set a
password with the -server package, that can't be accessed with just the
-client package.
The client_ed25519.so library can be found in libmariadbclient18 but
this package is only depended on by the a development package
(libmariadbclient-dev) and a test package (mariadb-test). Furthermore,
due to the name of libmariadbclient18 it doesn't appear alongside
mariadb-*.
The minimum bug I am proposing is that the virtual package mariadb-
client (or the versioned real package) should at least Suggest (if not
Recommend) the libmariadbclient18 package. I might also suggest that the
plugin libraries live in a separate -plugin package; although I
appreciate there seem to be too many different mariadb packages already,
so including the -client plugins in the -client package would make sense
too.
