mythubuntu team has ppa mythtv 0.27 that fails to install with mysql-server-5.6

[chadchenault]

Problem: mythtv 0.27.4+fixes.20150423.8f14d3d-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3 does not install to unmet dependencies. Mythtv is missing mysql-server 5.6 as a possible dependency. Below is the error message I get on install.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mythtv : Depends: mysql-server but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Background:
This mythtv package is from the mythubuntu team ppa : deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.27/ubuntu trusty main
I am running an upgraded mysql-server: ii mysql-server-5.6 5.6.19-0ubuntu0.1 amd64 MySQL database server binaries and system database set

My current solution to the problem:
1. I download the mythtv deb package
2. unpack the mythtv deb package
3. edit the file "control" and replace "mysql-server" with "mysql-server | mysql-server-5.6"
4. repack the package and install

Request:
Have mythtv package look for mysql-server or mysql-server-5.6 as a dependency
Mysql-server-5.6 has been faster and more stable (no memory leakage) than 5.5 for me.

This makes sense to me. I'll try and get it fixed soon.

I've committed these changes and I'm waiting for upstream to merge them. Once merged, they will be in the next day's builds.

This is now solved as of Version: 2:0.27.4+fixes.20150514.6b73976-0ubuntu0mythbuntu4.
My mythtv upgraded without a problem. Thanks to Thomas for your help.
