I know the difference between a client and a server, so please let me
underline with "^^^" where the mismatch is in the above link:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
All packages that at the moment depend directly on mysql-client should
instead have something like:
Depends: the-one-they-tested-with | virtual-mysql-client
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(or Suggests or Recommends)
At the moment in unstable the packages mysql-server-5.5 and
mariadb-server-5.5 have
Provides: mysql-virtual-server
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and mysql-client-5-5 and mariadb-client-5.5 have
Provides: mysql-virtual-client
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And there is still no pointer to the reasoning behind such names.
Thx, bye,
