Even though D) was my preference, i wasn't gonna do it :-)

ok, so A); however, in that case, i'll need some help. i'm able to build
it perfectly, however, there's something strange going on, the rpms
themselves have conflicts with eachother.

mariadb-common conflicts with mariadb-client
(and also something with readline in it, i forgot)

should i submit these to buildsystem, so you guys can help me out on this?

gonna retry this again locally tonight at least..
