Description Slava Sterling 2018-07-29 00:30:37 UTC

Starting from version 2.2.11-r1, if either "mysql" or "mariadb" USE flag was specified, the package depends on dev-db/mysql-connector-c or dev-db/mariadb-connector-c. Consequently, app-misc/sphinx now indirectly conflicts with any kind of mysql server — dev-db/mysql, dev-db/mariadb, dev-db/percona-server, ...
Instead, app-misc/sphinx should depend on virtual/libmysqlclient, which is responsible for choosing a corresponding source of connector files.

How do they conflict (with latest versions in testing)?

Thank you for the link, I wasn't aware of the upcoming changes.
Just double checked ebuilds and their dependencies — I have a mysql server with USE="client-libs", and it appears this flag is the reason why both connectors actively refuse to coexist with the server.
Sorry for wasting your time and thanks again!
