It seems that "Unsupported option provided to mysql_options()" message comes from mysql-connector-cpp package (files driver/nativeapi/libmysql_static_proxy.cpp or driver/nativeapi/libmysql_dynamic_proxy.cpp). But I'm not sure what is wrong yet. However, while I was checking the mysql-workbench package I noticed at least two problems as libmariadb from mariadb-connector-c doesn't define MARIADB_BASE_VERSION anymore. This causes that these two patches don't work as intended: 1) mysql-workbench-mysql_options4.patch This patch can be removed as MariaDB provides mysql_option4 function since the version 10.0.14. 2) mariadb-no-escape-string-quote.patch This patch needs to be adjusted.
