I have migrated my backend to 16.04 recently (fresh 0.28 install with
restore of a 0.27 database, comming from Ubuntu 14.04) and switched to
MariaDB instead of MySQL.
I also did a fresh install of the main frontend and when you install the
myth-stuff, it pulls the "normal" mysql-client. This works good with the
MariaDB server on the backend.
On another frontend, still running Ubuntu 14.04, I upgraded MythTV in
place and it works fine to.
I swiched to MariaDB because it was advised by the editor of another
software we use at my employer.
I had some trouble to install it on 16.04 (as I had with the standard
MySQL-Server), so I followed this tutorial:
