Bug#746651: akonadi-backend-mysql: please make it possible to use with MariaDB packages

[Martin Steigerwald <Martin@Lichtvoll.de>]

Package: akonadi-backend-mysql
Version: 1.12.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

akonadi-backend-mysql currently depends on:

Depends: mysql-server-core-5.5 | mysql-server-core, libqt4-sql-mysql

please add to that

mariadb-server-core-5.5


I tested here manually that Akonadi MySQL backend works with MariaDB:

libmariadbclient-dev/unstable 5.5.37-1 amd64
libmariadbclient18/unstable,now 5.5.37-1 amd64 [installed]
libmariadbd-dev/unstable 5.5.37-1 amd64
mariadb-client/unstable,now 5.5.37-1 all [installed]

mariadb-server/unstable 5.5.37-1 all
mariadb-server-5.5/unstable 5.5.37-1 amd64

mariadb-test/unstable 5.5.37-1 all
mariadb-test-5.5/unstable 5.5.37-1 amd64
