Problem description: In some circumstances, installing mariadb-server pulls in community-mysql package. It's not showing the same results for me when running it in an empty container, so it likely depends on other components installed. It's reported more in detail on upstream mailing list: https://lists.launchpad.net/maria-discuss/msg06179.html The discussion there leads to make the requirements from *-server to client package more explicit. There has been some efforts to make the combination of mariab-server and community-mysql (client tools) working, but I'm not entirely sure about usefulness of this. At least for the Fedora packaging, there are more ways how packages can say that they do not care about which mysql client tools are available: 1) Requires: (mysql or mariadb) 2) Requires: mysql-compat-client 3) Requires: /usr/bin/mysql So, maybe we can change the requirement to be more explicit and then fix potential "conflicts" issues by changing the requirements to one of the options above (likely the (1) or (2) option).
