For backwards compatibility reasons.
E.g. innotop builds against libmysqlclient.so and expects to find
a libmysqlclient.so.18 library and does not use libmariadb.so.3 even
when built from our own sources.
This commit mimics to dcfe6cb834
In Debian many existing applications in Debian/Ubuntu have been built
while libmariadbclient-dev or libmariadbclient-dev-compat was installed.
To satisfy installation dependencies, the package name libmariadbclient18
must be provided, and at runtime a shared library must by the name
libmariadbclient.so.18.
Provide these to remain backwards compatible.
The new library name libmariadb3 matches the libmariadb.so.3 filename.
Packages that want to build against MariaDB Connector C have as
build-dependency libmariadb-dev and as run-time dependency libmariadb3.
Make the package provide libmariadbclient18 for backwards compatibility,
though compatibility is not always assured. There library did change
to a whole new generation after all, even though ABI compatibility has
been a design goal.
Also do the equivalent change for the -dev package. Packages that
explicitly want to use the MariaDB Connector C should mark it as
their build-depends.
Also provide an empty libmariadbclient18 metapackage to facilitate
upgrades from old MariaDB installs, just like there is an empty
libmysqlclient18 package. Create more of these in the future as needed.
