Public bug reported: Dear Release Team,
Please accept this package removal as a Plucky FFe. [Rationale] With the addition of mysql-8.4, mysql-client, mysql-server, mysql- router, and libmysqlclient-dev have all been taken over from mysql-8.0, and is now the default mysql in Plucky. All reverse dependencies have migrated, where `reverse-depends --release plucky src:mysql-8.0` shows the following: Reverse-Depends =============== * default-libmysqlclient-dev (for libmysqlclient-dev) * default-mysql-client (for mysql-client) * default-mysql-server (for mysql-server) * emboss-lib [amd64 arm64 ppc64el riscv64 s390x] * mythexport [amd64 arm64] (for mysql-client) * mythimport [amd64 arm64] (for mysql-client) * postgresql-17-mysql-fdw [amd64 arm64 ppc64el riscv64 s390x] The listed items all depend on mysql-defaults, and actually include mysql-8.4 as a build/runtime dependency. They just show up due to the package name conflict of mysql-client, mysql-server, and libmysqlclient- dev. Removing mysql-8.0 would ensure that all users upgrading to 25.04 will end up with mysql-8.4, and that the security team will not need to follow extra steps of non-trivially backporting new mysql-8.0 versions here too. ** Affects: mysql-8.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Dear Release Team, Please accept this package removal as a Plucky FFe.
