I am trying to build php5 dependencies on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. Unfortunately I get the following error message.

% sudo apt-get build-dep php5
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 apache2-dev : Depends: libaprutil1-dev but it is not going to be installed
 mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.5 but it is not going to be installed
E: Build-dependencies for php5 could not be satisfied.

After by using the problem resolver, I can see that apt-get is trying to find a way around having the mariadb packages installed instead of the mysql packages.

% sudo apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes build-dep php5

How can I build dependencies for PHP5 on Ubuntu 14.04 while using mariadb?

  • I installed 15.04 on a VM to see if it would work there. While it does not work, 15.04 does handle it more gracefully by suggesting to remove mariadb.

PHP packages should compile with Maria-DB just fine. Just pick the build-dep packages by hand from debian/control instead of using apt-get build-dep php5, then change the Build-Depends libmysqlclient-dev to correct development package from Maria-DB.
