mysql-python builds against old version of libmariadbclient

[Major Hayden]

I started a Mitaka deployment today and it failed when the galera_server role tried to create users in MariaDB. The error stated that the mysqldb module was not installed.

However, when I logged into the galera container and tried to do "import MySQLdb", it failed with an error finding libmariadbclient.so.18. I manually downloaded the mysql-python module from PyPi to the container and installed it with pip. That worked fine.

Is the repo server building mysql-python against an older version of MariaDB perhaps?

This was fixed in https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-repo_build/commit/9e6b78a9b459eebbae87c97ea474c724f50bd3e3 and incorporated into the stable/mitaka branch with https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible/commit/213e9a8eae48f5827a297f745a83b6b441c7022a - this fix will be included in the 13.0.1 tag. As a workaround meanwhile you can build from the head of stable/mitaka.
