I was not sure if this question is more appropiate maybe in server fault, although i’ve found other MariaDB questions related to installation on this site, so i’ll assume it is ok
I followed these instructions:
installing-mariadb-deb-files
and i added the following to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mariadb.list
deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/repo/5.2/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/repo/5.2/ubuntu maverick main
and i did sudo apt-get install mariadb*
and i get this error (at the end):
$ sudo apt-get install mariadb*

According to this, debian noticed a name conflict (both MariaDB and MySQL provides the same libmysqlclient library) which it resolved by replacing the MySQL package with the MariaDB package.
If that’s the case then the installation worked, except for a warning you can ignore.
