Summary0004281: Package dependency 'mysql-server' not met
Description

No package provides the 'mysql-server' installation candidate.

Although it is possible to install 'default-mysql-server', and thus get the latest version of mariadb-server, this does not help when installing other packages that have a dependency on 'mysql-server'.

Steps To Reproduce

Download and install Seccubus from https://github.com/schubergphilis/Seccubus/releases/download/2.40/seccubus_2.40.0-0_amd64.deb

After other dependencies have been satisfied, install is still blocked because of the dependency.

$ gdebi seccubus_2.40.0-0_amd64.deb

Dependency is not satisfiable: mysql-server

Additional Information

This problem should be resolved by modifying the 'default-mysql-server' package to also advertise 'mysql-server' as an installation candidate.

To give more context - https://github.com/schubergphilis/Seccubus/issues/533

I don't think this is actually a bug in Kali.

Upstream should probably change the dependency to

"mysql-server | default-mysql-server," in the debian.control file in their repository.

We don't re-package the default-mysql-server package from Debian, in Debian Testing, mysql-server doesn't exist anymore.

I confirm that the issue must be fixed on the seccubus side, not in Kali. I have left a comment on the upstream ticket with an explanation of what must be done.
