I have been trying to install mariadb on Ubuntu 14.04
I installed it some 4 months back, following a tutorial from mariadb website.
I typed the following commands :
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0xcbcb082a1bb943db
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://mirror.netinch.com/pub/mariadb/repo/10.1/ubuntu trusty main'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server
And the installation failed leaving my system in a mess.
When I try to install libmariadbclient-dev I get the following errors:
sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev
Reading package lists... Done

The following NEW packages will be installed:

I have also tried sudo apt-get install -f as suggested in many posts but to no avail.
I have also tried suggestions in how-to-install-mariadb-on-ubuntu-14-10
