Then i used aptitude to update packages. After choosing mariadb server and client aptitude warned me of conflicts and

That conflict is intentional.
The way the .deb packages are made, they are supposed to replace existing mysql packages. Installing mariadb should automatically uninstall mysql, install mariadb, and mariadb will take over the database and function in exactly the same way for any existing applications. Just when one upgrades from mysql-5.0 to mysql-5.1. It is not (easily) possible to have both mysql and mariadb installed at the same time using the .deb packages.
If you want to install mariadb on the same machine as mysql and have both running at the same time, you can use the binary tarballs. You should then install mariadb in a different location than mysql and configure it to use a different port.
At that point i stopped.
I take this to read that the install attempt worked, but you aborted it since you wanted to keep old mysql installed (which makes sense).
If you had accepted the replacement, and it had nevertheless failed, that would be a problem to investigate.
Hope this helps,

I have not installed mysql server. Akonadi depends on mysql-server-core and installed it when kde was installed in the first place. I had not installed mariadb before cause i was not sure if that will break akonadi . Thanks for the reply. I continued with the installation of mariadb 5.2 . No problem appeared . Alexandros.
