grepping /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Packages shows that every debian package which
depends on default-mysql-client actually depends on:
default-mysql-client | virtual-mysql-client
virtual-mysql-client is Provided by mysql-client-5.7 and similar packages.
So, that would probably be a better solution for mythtv-common
In the meantime, using equivs to build a dummy package with this control file
should work around the problem:
Section: database
Priority: optional
Standards-Version: 3.9.2
Package: default-mysql-client
Depends: virtual-mysql-client
Version: 1:1.0
# Maintainer: Your Name <yourname@???>
Description: dummy equivs package for default-mysql-client
equivs package for default-mysql-client so that mysql-server-* and
mysql-client-* aren't removed.
It seems like it will work, anyway. I've built and installed it but haven't
upgraded the myth packages yet because mythtv-backend is recording something.
# apt-get -d -u install mythtv-backend mythtv-common mythtv-frontend
