Hmmm interesting, for Debian this didn´t work back then.

And it still won´t work, unless mariadb packages provide:

merkaba:~> apt-cache show akonadi-backend-mysql | grep -i depends
Depends: libqt4-sql-mysql, mysql-server-core-5.5 | mysql-server-core

Hmmm, it seems to:

merkaba:~> apt-cache show mariadb-server-core-10.0 | grep Provides
Provides: virtual-mysql-server-core

Will try this later.

Thanks,
