Mysql Keeps Wanting to Update

Hello,

Everytime I run packer -Syu it keeps wanting to update mysql. I believe this has something to do with the switch to the AUR repository. How do I fix this?

Re: Mysql Keeps Wanting to Update

I can't find a package named libmysqlclient anywhere. The closest one is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0 … _Search=Go

mysql is in the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mysql/
Why don't you update it?

I see nothing to fix, you just have to update some packages.

Re: Mysql Keeps Wanting to Update

The mysql package in the AUR is a split package. Installing it with packer may result in an incomplete installation if packer picks only one package file to install. Makepkg for the mysql split package results in three packages and you'll have to install at least libmysqlclient and mysql, I would install mysql-clients, too.
I gave up using automated AUR helpers and switched to cower/makepkg with a few bash aliases. Since I manually verify the PKGBUILD anyways, it doesn't feel like more work to me.

Thanks, progandy, for finding libmysqlclient ;-P I should have checked the PKGBUILD.
