MariaDB 5.5, Ubuntu LTS, Rails and required libmysqlclient-dev

Hi

I posted a question on Ubuntu regarding this but it may be to specific for them to answer and thought someone here may have greater expertise. Refer http://askubuntu.com/questions/338383/mariadb-install-libmysqlclient-dev-uninstallable-on-lts

I want to use MariaDB in my rails application and I am using Ubuntu 12.04.3. I have successfully installed MariaDB using the materials at the MariaDB Downloads page and installed the repositories.

A requirement in Rails for connectivity is the mysql2 gem. In order to have this compile the libmysqlclient-dev package is needed to be installed.

However after installing Maria I attempted to instal this requirement but could not meed dependency and Ubuntu returned.

Has anyone had this and know how to work around it?

This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies. libmysqlclient-dev : Depends: libmysqlclient18 (= 5.5.32-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) but 5.5.32+maria-1precise is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. sayth@sayth-TravelMate-5740G:$
