Hi, Jon! Generally, if you want to have a bug fixed, you'll have better chances at jira.mariadb.org, than on the mailing list. This particular bug was filed as https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-12889 and it's already fixed, the fix will be released in 10.2.7. The release schedule is also available at jira.mariadb.org.

I'm constantly astounded at the extreme cavalier attitude that MySQL/MariaDB has had towards backwards compatibility for the nearly two decades I've worked with it. Its like you hate the developers that use your stuff. What's up with this?!?!
I decided I better install the latest updates to my Deb7 64bit MariaDB install. WTF! Now all of my PHP apps are griping about:
----
symbol client_errors, version libmysqlclient_18 not defined in file libmysqlclient.so.18 ...
----
And it was working so well ten minutes ago. 10.2 even did away with the previous gripes from v10.1. :-/ But with the update to 10.2.6+maria~wheezy of the client libraries from your Debian repositories my clients' sites are down.
Please fix. I'll find someway to install older functional code again.
