it seems you use APR from Apache project in the buildservice. it is
correct that we added mysql support there for testing it. the normal
libapr1 or libapr-util1 packages in 10.2 do not link mysql. The latest
rpms from the url above should have mysql support moved into a shared
object so your problem should be gone aswell.
if you still see the issue with the rpms from feel to contact me.
hope this helps,
