What distribution? What version of it? What MariaDB version? Generally for libmysqlclient16 you need mariadb-5.2 or 5.3. Configure your system to use the appropriate repository.
Ubuntu 12.04LTS MariaDB I downloaded the latest version on last Thursday 5.5.
I will try an older version of MariaDB and see if that helps.
