Hello,
I would like to describe a problem I faced with MySQL Workbench in the latest 12.3 release.
I have confirmed the problem on 3 different installations (all 64bit, but problem should be also available for 32bit).
The package mysql-workbench has a broken dependency for libmysqlclient_r18.
Actually it is a bit more complicated. There are 2 different set of packages:
- libmysqlclient18 + libmysqlclient18-32bit
- libmysqlclient_r18 + libmysqlclient_r18-32bit
mysql-workbench installs libmysqlclient18 (without "_r") but "looks" for the libmysqlclient_r.so shared library.
My first move was to install libmysqlclient_r18 from YaST. After installation I check the file list of the package and see that it should provide:
However that isn't true. The package does not provide these files and all I have in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 is:
And of course MySQL Workbench continues to explode every time I try to create a connection.
The workaround that I did was:
After that MySQL Workbench succeeds connecting to mysql.
Conclusion:
For some reason the package libmysqlclient_r18 does not provide neither shared libraries, or symbolic links to the shared libraries of libmysqlclient18.
Hope this information helps someone.
Regards!
