postfix was built against libmariadbclient-5.5.36-1; libmysqlclient is not a supported package.
Comment by Marti (intgr) - Thursday, 08 May 2014, 17:21 GMT
Oh, is libmariadbclient missing a replaces=libmysqlclient or did I mess something up myself?

Well there was this but indeed it did not force people to upgrade: https://www.archlinux.org/news/mariadb-replaces-mysql-in-repositories/

It indeed sounds like mariadb should have shipped with a replaces=... because that's in effect what this "one month" expiration thing does, except not quite as easily on users.

I see. I thought that doesn't affect me, I had no idea even that postfix had pulled in a MySQL dependency to all my systems.

It's just a client library that postfix links to; you don't have to actually use it. Anyway, please upgrade to libmariadb and you'll be fine. Since Bartłomiej has nothing to say I'll close this bug.
