Bug Description

The mysql-cluster-client-5.1 package (part of mysql-cluster-7.0), at least the Lucid release, is missing some packaging metadata. The package contains the libmysqlclient16 shared library:

# dpkg -L mysql-cluster-client-5.1 | grep libmysqlclient
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.16.0.0
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.16

but the package metadata does not reflect this fact:

# apt-cache showpkg mysql-cluster-client-5.1 | grep -A 1 ^Provides
Provides:
7.0.9-1ubuntu7 - virtual-mysql-client mysql-client-4.1 mysql-client

As a result, other packages (such as libdbd-mysql-perl) which depend on libmysqlclient16 cannot install on a system with mysql-cluster-client-5.1 installed without using --force-depends or some other such shenanigans.
