Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-shared additional Provides libmysqlclient_16 libmysqlclient_18

[David Busby]

Attempting to build a Fedora 17 new openstack deployment at present backed by XtraDB.

Results in a dependency issue:

"""
---> Package MySQL-python.x86_64 0:1.2.3-5.fc17 will be installed
--> Processing Dependency: libmysqlclient.so.18(libmysqlclient_16)(64bit) for package: MySQL-python-1.2.3-5.fc17.x86_64
Package mysql-libs is obsoleted by Percona-Server-shared-compat, but obsoleting package does not provide for requirements
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: MySQL-python-1.2.3-5.fc17.x86_64 (updates)

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
"""

Whilst the file in question does infact exist and is provided by the shared packaget:

"""

However the provides information does not note the presence of libmysqlclient_16:

"""
rpm -q Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-shared --provides
Percona-Server-shared
libmysqlclient.so.18()(64bit)
mysql-libs
mysql-shared
Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-shared = 1:5.5.24-23.6.340.rhel6
Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-shared(x86-64) = 1:5.5.24-23.6.340.rhel6
"""

For reference the output from mysql-libs on fedora 16:

"""
rpm -q mysql-libs --provides
config(mysql-libs) = 5.5.19-1.fc15
libmysqlclient.so.18()(64bit)
libmysqlclient.so.18(libmysqlclient_16)(64bit)
libmysqlclient.so.18(libmysqlclient_18)(64bit)
mysql-libs = 5.5.19-1.fc15
mysql-libs(x86-64) = 5.5.19-1.fc15
"""

As such I would assume the following needs adding the the .spec file:

Provides: libmysqlclient_16, libmysqlclient_18

As a workaround will be installing MySQL-python via:

rpm -Uvh --nodeps http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/MySQL-python/1.2.3/5.fc17/x86_64/MySQL-python-1.2.3-5.fc17.x86_64.rpm
