Debian LTS: DLA-2103-1 End Of Life Announcement For Libqb And MySQL 5.5

debian lts
Calendar Grey February 13, 2020
Dist Debian Esm H88
The latest Debian security notice has declared the cessation of support for libqb and MySQL 5.5, urging users to transition to more secure alternatives.
debian-security-support, the Debian security support coverage checker, has been updated in jessie-security

Summary

We recommend that if your systems or applications depend upon the libqb
package provided from the Debian archive that you upgrade your systems
to a more recent Debian release or find an alternate and up to date
source of libqb packages.

Additionally, MySQL 5.5 is no longer supported. Upstream has ended its
support and we are unable to backport fixes from newer versions due to
the lack of patch details. Options are to switch to MariaDB 10.0 in
jessie or to a newer version of MySQL in more recent Debian releases.

Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply
these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
