MariaDB on Ubuntu 14.04

[Omkar Ghatpande]

I'm trying to install frappe bench on Ubuntu 14.04.

The install script gives me an error:

Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com trusty/universe Translation-en_IN               
Fetched 1,562 kB in 40s (38.3 kB/s)

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

python-mysqldb : Depends: libmysqlclient18 (>= 5.5.13-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

On trying to install MariaDB individually, I get a similar error:

omkar@my-Vostro-1014:~$ sudo apt-get install mariadb-server

Any corrections/suggestions/pointers?

Hi Omkar,

Do you have mysql installed on Ubuntu 14.04??

If so then there might be the root cause of this error.

Few days back i also got the same error but i resolved it by removing mysql client & server from system and installed MariaDB again.

To remove mysql completely from your system Just type in terminal:

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

Hi Jay,

Thanks for the response.. I'd faced a similar issue on OS X when mysql conflicted with MariaDB.

Followed your steps and the installation is now in progress.
