I just upgraded to mysql-5.5.28, and my webserver is no longer working. I tried going back to the previous version and that is not working either. I'm hoping the apache error_log might suggest something to someone. I should note that /usr/lib and /usr/lib/mysql have a lot of the same stuff in them including

Greetings,

Just to check, did you run 'revdep-rebuild --library /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16' already?

And, perhaps 'python-updater' as well?

Just want to make sure we're starting from a known-good point.

HTH. Let us know.

I did run python-updater and it updated a couple of things, but that didn't affect the message. I just tried

presumably, apache is linked against mysql libraries
first port of call for me would be to simply rebuild apache

reverting to older mysql would not work methinks, because of the symlink to .18

I would swear that all this time I have had /usr/lib/mysqlclient.so.16 pointing to libmysqlclient.so.18, but checking just now, that was not the case minutes ago.

I should have noted that re-emerging Apache may well have been the cause of a bunch of stuff disappearing from /usr/lib. (And it could also be that somehow I imagined them there in the past.) I'm going with the theory that it was the re-emerging of Apache that led to the solution.

I'm running into almost exactly the same problem. I have switched to mariadb-5.5-31, but that has been working for some time (or at least some earlier version of mariadb). Of course I have checked that libmysqlclient.so.16 has a link to libmysqlclient.so.18 so it isn't the same problem as I had before. The apache error.log has

I've really been going around in circles with this problem. Tried using apache 2.4.4-r3, and mod_fcgid. Gave up on that, then apache 2.2.24-r1 (which I started with) with mod_fgid, and that didn't work. Finally back to mod_fastcgi, and that worked. So back to almost exactly what was causing problems, and all is now working???
