drizzle-plugin-mysql-client conflicts

[m00dawg]

After the recent DEB updates, I noticed that drizzle-plugin-mysql-client conflicts with mysql-server:

I kinda need MySQL though on the server as I will need MySQL to migrate things over. I'm not sure exactly why there is a conflict here though?

[Andrew Hutchings (linuxjedi)]

I believe this is intentional. You don't need mysql protocol plugin to migrate stuff as there is the drizzle protocol plugin. All the mysql protocol plugin does is make drizzle listen on port 3306, so the conflict would be intentional as there would be a port conflict out-of-the-box. Port 4427 still understands the MySQL protocol and all drizzle clients now use that.

What I am basically saying is you probably don't need drizzle-plugin-mysql-protocol.

I will assign to mtaylor anyway to confirm what I said above.

Monty, correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the intention was to have this package just contain the configuration specifying to listen on port 3306, but the binary for the plugin stored elsewhere.

m00dawg, the conflict arises because they both try to listen on port 3306.

Aha gotcha. Hmm then my problem may relate to something else then but I will play around with things and get back to you on that. If the only intention of the package is to pre-configure the MySQL port then, yes, this bug can likely be closed as not a bug :)

Thanks for the explanation though! It's always a pleasure to work with you folks on these things!

Per Monty closing as not a bug
