Description Ron Wingfield 2016-05-26 12:03:30 UTC 
Apparently, the p5-DBD-mysql port insist on installing the databases/mysql56-client when the mysql57-client-5.7.12, and server, are already installed?

Posted here:  https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/56390/#post-320797

"Databases/p5-DBD-mysql requires [?] libmysqlclient.so.18 which is a library specific to the databases/mysql56-client port, hence the version clash."

Thanks for the report. Setting proper maintainer, don't know why bugzilla set ale@, but leaving him in CC.

I just tried this in a clean jail without DEFAULT_VERSIONS=mysql=57:

cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql57-client && make install
cd /usr/ports/databases/p5-DBD-mysql && make install

and installing DBD::mysql, it does say:

===>   p5-DBD-mysql-4.033 depends on shared library: libmysqlclient.so.20 - found (/usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.20)

So, something must be wrong about how you're doing it, and without logs, it's a bit hard to see what may, or may not, happen.
