Comment 29 for bug 1578144

Paul, this looks good, thanks. Note that the Ubuntu change (build against libmysqlclient, not libmysqlclient_r) is actually applicable to Debian too, even against MySQL 5.6. I haven't yet sent all of these up to Debian/upstreams (I'm tracking in bug 1566364). libmysqlclient_r is deprecated in 5.6 but still exists as a symlink which is gone in 5.7. So the patch should work against MySQL 5.6 in Debian though I've not tested it.

So do you want to apply that in Debian and then I can sync cacti-spine in Yakkety? Or if that will take you some time, I'll be happy to upload your merge now.
