Summary0000593: perl-DBD-MySQL prevents package updates when MariaDB is in use
DescriptionNewer versions of perl-DBD-MySQL are built on mysql-common-8.0.x which conflicts on systems with MariaDB installed:

Servers that have perl-DBD-MySQL already installed can fail nightly updates.
Seems to be related to REHL upstream: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-88746

However, if that's the case than the only thing we can do is ban those packages/remove them always when MariaDB is installed,. Still, if the user has specifically installed those for scripts of their own that involve a remote mysql server, those are instantly broken by such a change we make there.
Steps To ReproduceThis generally only affects servers that have an older version of perl-DBD-MySQL installed. Currently this older version is not available in the repo.

# dnf check-update | grep -E 'ea-apr|mysql-devel|perl-DBD-MySQL|preludedb-mysql|soci-mysql'
perl-DBD-MySQL.x86_64 4.053-1.el9 appstream

This latest version specifically requires the mysql-libs and thus mysql-common now, which conflicts with MariaDB, preventing all updates:
