[debian-mysql] Bug#778603: mariadb-server: Missing Aria DB engine "Aria engine is not enabled ..."

[Eric Côté]

Package: mariadb-server
Version: 10.0.16-1
Severity: important

"[ERROR] Aria engine is not enabled or did not start. The Aria engine must be enabled to continue as mysqld was configured with --with-aria-tmp-tables"

Would have been nice to let people know in a NEWS file about the change. Now my mysqld doesn't start. Pardon me for being a little impatient, but I've been trying to fix this for the last 3 hours, and I'd rather get some sleep.

I know I take my chances, but notification somehow would have been wise, IMO.
