Debian 12: mysql-connector-python-py3 is not offered in the debian package repository; extra documentation is needed. #12252
Description
Activity
Digging a bit, it looks like that the python connector is not available via the debian repository, since they removed debian building since version 9.0.0: https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/c-python/
And taking a further look in https://repo.mysql.com/apt/debian/dists/, it only looks like
wheezyandjessiehave this connector.@ShadowJonathan , do you have a doc PR to submit? you can at https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-documentation

https://repo.mysql.com/apt/debian/dists/bookworm/mysql-tools/binary-amd64/Packagesyou can just follow the steps in #9738
@weizhouapache i'll need to take a look at that again, in my testing this did not show up at all, so it being in this packages file is odd to me

please share your steps if it does not work for youroot@debian-127:~# apt search mysql-connector-python-py3 Sorting... Done Full Text Search... Done mysql-connector-python-py3/unknown 8.4.0-1debian12 amd64 MySQL database driver written in pure Python 3 mysql-connector-python-py3-dbgsym/unknown 8.4.0-1debian12 amd64 debug symbols for mysql-connector-python-py3Ah I see what is going on.
The
trixierelease does not have the python connector: https://repo.mysql.com/apt/debian/dists/trixie/mysql-tools/binary-amd64/PackagesThis makes #12251 related, and it'll work on debian 12 as expected.
So then the only issue left is the absence in the documentation.

I'm not entirely sure how I can add wording for this into the documentation site, so I don't feel confident to propose a documentation PR, no.
:) @weizhouapache, any advice?

can you please review apache/cloudstack-documentation#610 ?looks good, is that what would have helped you @ShadowJonathan ?
@DaanHoogland @weizhouapache reviewed it, with some optional suggestions. The wording is good as-is (it is at least a mention, which is enough), my suggestions are mere nit-picks, ergo my approval + review comments :)
Seeing this part would've indeed helped me figure out sooner why it would not properly install
cloudstack-management, yes.Thanks a lot!
With apache/cloudstack-documentation#610 merged, this can be closed, imo :)

problem
Trying to "just" install
cloudstack-managementfrom the debian install instructions, I see this;Which then leads me to #9738, which assumes that
mysql-connector-python-py3is "just" available, while it is not;Doing a bit of digging, I find that
mysql-connector-python-py3is provided by MYSQL's own apt repository: thread link, which isn't noted in the documentation.versions
N/A, all versions on the debian repository
The steps to reproduce the bug
apt install cloud-managementWhat to do about it?
Adjust dependency, or add missing instruction to documentation to include https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/
