The mysql5 port (version 5.1.72) is discouraged in favor of one of the new mysql ports mysql51 (version 5.1.72), mysql55, mysql56, mariadb or percona, all of which do not link against openssl by default. Updating whatever ports are pulling in mysql5 to use mysql51, or better, mariadb, solves the mysql5 issue.


"mysql5" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl"
"mysql51" is distributable
"mysql55" is distributable
"mysql56" is distributable
"mariadb" is distributable
"percona" is distributable
