@Spark71 Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am having a similar problem using git and makepkg. When I try to install the package I've built, it prompts me to make an installation choice:
1) mariadb-clients 2> mariadb-lts-clients 3) percona-server-clients
Choosing any of them causes the the mysql package installation to run into conflicts and fail, which one might expect. Why am I being prompted to install these conflicting packages while installing a mysql package I've built myself?
