Hi Selim,

Wow thanks for teaching me about apt-file, didn't know that one!

For me, on linux mint, output looks different:

> user@e7470 ~ $ sudo apt-file search dialog.so
...> percona-server-5.6-dbg: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/mysql/plugin/dialog.so
> percona-server-server-5.6: /usr/lib/mysql/plugin/dialog.so
> percona-xtradb-cluster-5.6-dbg: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/mysql/plugin/dialog.so
> percona-xtradb-cluster-server-5.6: /usr/lib/mysql/plugin/dialog.so
...
> user@e7470 ~ $ cat /etc/debian_version 
> stretch/sid

Seems linux mint doesn't have those mariadb client libs that you have. 
Strange, since it's also stretch...?

Yeah I'll work on this a bit more.

Yes, thanks for your suggestions, and for telling me about apt-file :-)
