That is neither guaranteed nor safe. The library changed its ABI, and *expressly* told you so (by changing the name). Pretending that 20 is equal to 18 opens you up to crashes, or even silent data corruption.
- if there is no replacement, what did i have to tell the developer he has to point to (use instead)?
S/he has to rebuild your software (but see point b) with whatever MySQL or MariaDB library version s/he has. Or alternatively, you have to ship all the .so files you used at the time of building.
- if there is a replacement, where would it be (to make manual a symlink to it)
Symlinks are _not_ an appropriate replacement. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
