Bug Description

In MySQL 5.7.15 the only tests in the mtr suite written in python were rewritten in perl, to remove the python dependency, but this added a dependency on libjson-perl, without which those tests will fail.

Fix is to change the dependency in d/control

[Impact]
If libjson-perl isn't installed (which it won't be in an sbuild build) then the tests main.myisam_explain_json_non_select_all and main.myisam_explain_json_non_select_nonemysql-test-run will fail, both during the build and dep8 runs.

The change replaces the old python dependency with one on libjson-perl, and adds a build-dep on libjson-perl

[Test case]
Build package with sbuild and observe the test log

[Regression Potential]
This change has been in Yakkety for some time (5.7.15-0ubuntu2).

Removing the python dependency could cause issues if there were some unknown dependency on it still lingering.

Hello Lars, or anyone else affected,

Accepted mysql-5.7 into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

This bug was fixed in the package mysql-5.7 - 5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.2

---------------
mysql-5.7 (5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.2) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Add libjson-perl dependency for test suite (LP: #1631338)
    The last two python tests in the mtr suite were rewritten
    in perl, and require this package. Added for mysql-testsuite
    and as a build-dep.
  * Build with DWITH_LZ4=system (LP: #1631339)
    Package was previously built with bundled liblz4, though it
    was specified as a build-dep.
  * Add support for custom datadir to systemd service (LP: #1574782)
    The service was reporting an error if no database could be found in
    /var/lib/mysql. It now checks the location specified in the config.
    Note that user must still handle apparmor access for custom datadir.
  * Fix copy of soft-link datadir to /var/lib/mysql-upgrade (LP: #1474212)
    Upgrade would sometimes fail if mysql-upgrade already contained a
    link copy from a previous upgrade.
  * Escape special characters in password (LP: #1598992)
    Special characters in the root password would cause syntax errors
    and postinst failures.
  * Failing tests on platforms supported by upstream fail build (LP: #1646488)
    A passing test suite is now enforced on i386 and amd64 platforms at
    build-time.
  * d/copyright: Updated with information about new source files
  * Unstable test main.xa_prepared_binlog_off disabled pending upstream fix.
    Upstream bug report: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=83340
  * d/lintian-overrides: Updated line numbers
