Oh, right, I just noticed the 'rpm -ql' command in the OP. That's not
what you want to do. You want to do 'rpm -q --provides mariadb-libs',
which will get you:

[adamw at adam ~]$ rpm -q --provides mariadb-libs
config(mariadb-libs) = 1:5.5.31-6.fc20
libmysqlclient.so.18()(64bit)
libmysqlclient.so.18(libmysqlclient_16)(64bit)
libmysqlclient.so.18(libmysqlclient_18)(64bit)
libmysqlclient.so.18(libmysqlclient_18_mariadb)(64bit)
mariadb-libs = 1:5.5.31-6.fc20
mariadb-libs(x86-64) = 1:5.5.31-6.fc20
mysql-libs = 1:5.5.31-6.fc20
mysql-libs(x86-64) = 1:5.5.31-6.fc20

As Orion points out, it provides "libmysqlclient.so.18()(64bit)", not
"libmysqlclient.so.18" .
