Bug 648934 – dev-perl/DBD-mysql-4.41.0 - /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.3/x86_64-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so should link to /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so but links to libperconaserverclient.so.18

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Deniss Gaplevsky 2018-02-27 12:07:08 UTC]

dev-perl/DBD-mysql-4.41.0 creates file /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.3/x86_64-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so which SHOULD be linked to /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so to maintain compatibility between mysql/mariadb/percona ebuilds.

Instead it linked to libperconaserverclient.so.18 when dev-db/percona-server is installed.

Changing sql server leaves dependencies broken.

I'm gonna have to get mysql teams input on this.

The "linked target" is controlled by calling `mysql_config`, as far as I understand.

If "mysql_config" just happens to be percona, ... I'm at a loss how to fix this.

I get the impression Deniss has permitted some file collisions to be overridden, but I don't know enough to work this out.

[Comment 2 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) 2020-07-09 02:30:48 UTC]

This should be obsolete. We have since removed USE=client from dev-db/{mysql,mariadb,percona-server} and client lives in dev-db/{mysql,mariadb}-connector-c:

From a system with =dev-db/percona-server-8.0.19.10:

Oh wow, didn't notice how old this was.

Yes, should be obsolete.

@Deniss, please retest this problem and feel free to change resolution back to an open one if pain persists.
