Install MariaDB in Ubuntu13.10
Ubuntu 13.10 is the latest release when I post this blog. I tried to install MariaDB following these instructions:
(source: https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/)
And I got this error message:
The reason for this issue is the version of MariaDB is mismatch with the version in the Ubuntu repositories (click to read more about this).
So, to fix that:
1. You have to specify the exact version of packages when installing MariaDB. In my case, they are:
2. After MariaDB is installed, and as long as the version number issue exists, an `apt-get dist-upgrade` will try to remove MariaDB in order to install the "upgraded" libmysqlclient and mysql-common packages. To prevent this from happening you can hold them so that apt doesn't try to upgrade them. To do so, open a terminal, become root with "sudo -s, and then enter the following:
echo libmysqlclient18 hold | dpkg --set-selections
echo mysql-common hold | dpkg --set-selections
The holds will prevent you from upgrading MariaDB, so when you want to remove the holds, open a terminal, become root with 'sudo -s', and then enter the following:
echo libmysqlclient18 install | dpkg --set-selections
echo mysql-common install | dpkg --set-selections
You will then be able to upgrade MariaDB as normal (e.g. with "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade").
