[Georgi Naplatanov]

Package: mariadb-server
Version: 10.0.15-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the package fails to install in Sid and fails to upgrade on Jessie.
This is the messages when I tried to install MariaDB on Sid

However, thanks for providing MariaDB for Debian. My experience with version 10.0.14 is positive.

Kind regards
