[php-maint] Bug#422224: building with libmysqlclient12-dev doesn't work

[Henk van de kamer]

Package: php5
Version: 5.2.0-8+etch3

I'm building my own version (don't need LDAP for example) and got the 
following error:


checking whether to enable embedded MySQLi support... no
checking for mysql_set_server_option in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: wrong mysql library version or lib not found. Check 
config.log for more information.
make: *** [configure-apache2-stamp] Error 1


The reason is that the build-dependancies read:

libmysqlclient15-dev | libmysqlclient12-dev

and when you use the latter it goes wrong. Installing the first resolves 
the build error. This one is needed for the mysqli extension which is 
now default packaged in php5-mysql. That one needs libmysqlclient15 so 
depending on libmysqlclient12-dev seems odd?
