Comment 3 for bug 1877504

After the release of Focal, I did a fresh install with mariadb server.
I did a mysqldump backup of the existing mythtv (bionic) mariadb
database and installed mythtv (mythbackend + mythfrontend + plugins) and
configured it to work with the current setup.

This all worked almost perfectly, just needing minor tweaks.

I have been installing updates to the system mostly when they are available.

I noticed that after an update to the system just recently, the
mythfrontend was giving a segfault when exiting, causing the crash to be
detected and mythfrontend to restart.  Further investigation showed
indications that libmysqlclient was involved.

I downgraded to the previous version of libmysqlclient, and the problem
ceased. All was working as previously.

Upgrading to the latest (security fix) caused the problem to start
again.  I downgraded again and locked the version, and the problem went
away again.  I don't have any external facing mysql connections, so
security is not an imperative at the moment, but it does make me nervous
not to have security updates.

To cause the problem :- install the latest mysqlclient

To workaround the problem : downgrade the mysqlclient

If you need me to test anything, please let me know.

Good luck, and thanks,

Kim
