A new version of MariaDB 10.2-4 is out, it now has fixed symlinks and Provides. Bugzilla tracker of issues in other packages should be filled up soon.
The symlinks should stay around for a while, so all packages will have a time for transfer to the new library. However they will be removed (planned sometimes before f27 release) -- Michal Schorm Associate Software Engineer Core Services - Databases Team Red Hat On Wed, Jul 12, 2017 at 9:59 PM, Adam Williamson <adamw...@fedoraproject.org > wrote: > On Mon, 2017-07-03 at 15:12 +0200, Michal Schorm wrote: > > Hello everybody! > > > > Since MariaDB 10.2 is finally stable and I resolved all issues that > blocked > > it for Fedora, I'd like to propose an update for Rawhide. > > > > Current version of MariaDB: 10.1.24 > > Update planned to: 10.2.6 (or newer) > > > > *This change introduces change of library name from "libmysqlclient.so" > to > > "libmariadb.so".* > > *There are many dependant packages affected.* > > > > The current (optimistic) plan is to deliver the update before Fedora 27 > mass > > rebuild <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/27/Schedule> at > 12.7.2017. > > Either the rebuild of all depending packages is inevitable. > > > > - > > > > We actively track the issue here > > <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1467297>.
