+
+afaik it's a ordering of choices, mysql will be matched by it and be 1st 
+choice. (i can be wrong of course; but anssi seemed to think this would be 
+possible)
+
+of course, there's another simple solution, i can put the preference on 
+mariadb... :-P
+
+with regards to provides; are you sure all mysql requirements are with 
+libmysqlclient.so.18?
+
+maybe i have too much provides, but since it's a drop-in replacement, i see no 
+evil in that.
