RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

These two plugins should be in mariadb-libs package not in mariadb-server:
 /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/dialog.so
 /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/mysql_clear_password.so

They are needed by the mysql client, for example without dialog.so you can't connect using a pam authenticated account.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mariadb package only (without mariadb-server).
2. Try to connect to a mariadb server on other host with pam authentication using the mysql cli client.

Actual results:
Client can't find dialog.so library.

Expected results:
Successful connection.

Additional info:

Which version of mariadb and mariadb-server do you use?

Client host has mariadb 5.5.37 package from CentOS, server has 5.5.31 from mariadb.org (but this shouldn't matter).

Just a heads up that this change is conflicting with galera, in that these files are present in mariadb-libs and not mariadb-server.   We package them in mariadb-galera-server.  See rhbz#1373598
