Is there a way to install MySQL JDBC driver from Ubuntu 20.04 repository?
It looks from other questions (askubuntu, stackoverflow) that it was contained in libmysql-java (which is no longer there), and then moved to libmariadb-java (weird because as far as I know, it's different database - but I found sort of confirmation on debian package description).
So I installed libmariadb-java, but for me it doesn't look like it's there. Here's the result of running dpkg-query -L libmariadb-java:
/. /usr /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/libmariadb-java /usr/share/doc/libmariadb-java/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/libmariadb-java/copyright /usr/share/java /usr/share/java/mariadb-java-client.jar /usr/share/maven-repo /usr/share/maven-repo/org /usr/share/maven-repo/org/mariadb /usr/share/maven-repo/org/mariadb/jdbc /usr/share/maven-repo/org/mariadb/jdbc/mariadb-java-client /usr/share/maven-repo/org/mariadb/jdbc/mariadb-java-client/2.5.3 /usr/share/maven-repo/org/mariadb/jdbc/mariadb-java-client/2.5.3/mariadb-java-client-2.5.3.pom /usr/share/maven-repo/org/mariadb/jdbc/mariadb-java-client/debian /usr/share/maven-repo/org/mariadb/jdbc/mariadb-java-client/debian/mariadb-java-client-debian.pom /usr/share/java/mariadb-java-client-2.5.3.jar /usr/share/maven-repo/org/mariadb/jdbc/mariadb-java-client/2.5.3/mariadb-java-client-2.5.3.jar /usr/share/maven-repo/org/mariadb/jdbc/mariadb-java-client/debian/mariadb-java-client-debian.jar It seems it helped others, so what am I missing?

Download "JDBC Driver for MySQL (Connector/J)" from
You can select the desired Ubuntu version there.
Then you install this .DEB file as follows:
sudo apt install mysql-connector-java_8.0.25-1ubuntu20.04_all.deb
