Karl<p>Has your OS ever refused to install the MariaDB client package or the MySQL client package due to a conflict with the other?</p><p>It feels like it should be possible to have both, but unfortunately I have yet to see a solution for this. </p><p>For a subset of these cases, all that you want is just to have the client tools such as the mariadb/ mysql CLI and the mariadb-dump/ mysqldump backup programs co-existing on the same OS. (I.e. you don't care about the static/dynamic libmariadbclient/libmysqlclient libs etc). </p><p>So, I decided to write up my solutions for this: <br><a href="https://dbdemon.com/installing_mariadb_and_mysql_clients_on_same_unix_host/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dbdemon.com/installing_mariadb</span><span class="invisible">_and_mysql_clients_on_same_unix_host/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/mariadb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mariadb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/mysql" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mysql</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/pkg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pkg</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/rpm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rpm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/packaging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>packaging</span></a></p>
