Answer 1

If you still want to use the mysql client, it's called default-mysql-client now.

Answer 2

I had the same issue in php:7.1-apache. Replacing mysql-client with mariadb-client works for me. Thank you.

Answer 3

php:7.3-fpm now use Debian 10 (Buster) as its base image and Buster ships with MariaDB, so just replace mysql-client with mariadb-client should fix it.

Answer 4

php:7.2-apache triggers the error as well, but I resolve it using php:7.2.18-apache
