What should I try next?
@rulatir:
Kubuntu solution edit: /var/lib/dpkg/status (make backup copy from status file first!) search and delete "Package: libmysqlclient18" block until including "Original-Maintainer: ..."
you might find this package entry block twice, remove 'em both.
install deb package without problems now sudo dpkg -i libmariadbclient18_?.?.?+maria-1raring_amd64.deb
