Hmm, that's really interesting. By the way, I'm an ix86 platform user.
Before upgrading to a new mysql or postgres version I try to see and
understand the differences. And the steps to do to use the new
functionality on the existing data.
A quick check in the changelog for mysql-dfsg-5.0 gives:
libmysqlclient15 was renamed into libmysqlclient15off in march this year
due to binary incompatible changes.
Could this mean, even a re-compile of clients using this library is not
enough?
The ABI of the library changed, but not the soname, API, or name of
the -dev package, for somewhat complicated reasons that I think were
discussed on debian-release at some point:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2006/03/msg00079.html
(see also Steve Langasek's reply.)
So it should suffice for ROOT packages to be recompiled against an
updated libmysqlclient15-dev package. (If ROOT were already in
Debian, a simple email to debian-release asking for a binary NMU would
have worked.) Christian, will you have a chance to do that in the
near future?
