Ntopng stopped working after 2.4.2-RELEASE upgrade - libmysqlclient.so.18

Has anyone else seen ntopng stop working after the 2.4.2 upgrade? It was chugging along fine until then. From the webapp, it won't start and I don't see any errors in the system log. If I run it from the command line, it complains about libmysqlclient.so.18 not being present.

I looked around for similar issues and ran into this post: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=65090.0

So, I basically did the symlink:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 /lib/libmysqlclient.so.18

And things started working again. These feels like a nasty hack that will bite me later. Any idea what's going on? Some other package clobbering things? I didn't install/uninstall any packages with the upgrade though…

Thanks-
Sean
