E: Package 'libmysqlclient18' has no installation candidate












0














I am installing mysql on Ubuntu 16.04 following https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-apt-repo-quick-guide/en/#apt-repo-fresh-install




install the shared client libraries:



 shell> sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient18



$ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient18
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libmysqlclient18 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libmysqlclient18' has no installation candidate


How shall I solve the error?
Thanks.

          The package libmysqlclient18 is in 12.04 and 14.04 only. Not 16.04.



          The package libmysqlclient20 is in 16.04 and newer (as of JUN 2018)



          Please let the mysql team know that their documentation needs to be updated.

          • I would even recommend to use sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient leaving the version to be determined at the install time.

          • Hmmm. There is no libmysqlclient metapackage (or ordinary package) in the Ubuntu repositories.
