Hi,

I just got this mail:

From: buildsys at fedoraproject.org
To: jwrdegoede at fedoraproject.org

Subject: Broken dependencies: libgda



libgda has broken dependencies in the development tree:
On ppc:
	libgda-mysql - 1:3.0.1-2.fc8.ppc requires libmysqlclient.so.10
On x86_64:
	libgda-mysql - 1:3.0.1-2.fc8.x86_64 requires libmysqlclient.so.10()(64bit)
On i386:
	libgda-mysql - 1:3.0.1-2.fc8.i386 requires libmysqlclient.so.10
On ppc64:
	libgda-mysql - 1:3.0.1-2.fc8.ppc64 requires libmysqlclient.so.10()(64bit)
Please resolve this as soon as possible.

According to the cvs dead.package file, mysqlclient10 (and 14) were removed 
because they only existed for compatibility reasons. But AFAIK mysqlclient10 
also was kept because it was LGPL. Do we now concider the exceptions made to 
the GPL for the client libs of mysql version 5, good enough to no longer keep 
mysqlclient10 around to have an LGPL client lib?

Regards.

Hans
