[Solved] Is /usr/bin/mysql no longer provided by the mariadb package?

Morning everyone. I updated mariadb from 10.1.21-1 to 10.1.22-1 today and noticed something strange: The `usr/bin/mysql` binary was missing. Looking at the package contents on the mariadb package page, I noticed it doesn't list that particular file. Downgrading back to 10.1.21.1 brought it back.

I checked the MySQL page on the wiki and it doesn't seem to mention any change. Has that particular binary been moved to a different package? Does the wiki need to be updated?

After a few more minutes of clicking around, I noticed that /usr/bin/mysql is provided by `mariadb-clients` and not `mariadb` - not sure how I deleted it, but turns out it was my fault.

It is provided by the mariadb-clients package which is required as a dependency of mariadb.  The only way you could update and not have it is if you did a partial upgrade.

EDIT: oops, this was cross posted with the above.

% pkgfile /usr/bin/mysql
extra/mariadb-clients
community/percona-server-clients

Edit: wow, way too slow
