The problem in this case is the current mismatch between the available
MariaDB versions, and the default one:
- the default is still 10.0, which means that after the upload of
  amarok 2.8.0-7 mariadb 10.0 is pulled when building; in the current
  packaging, we copy the mysqlmsg.sys file from the installed version
  (so 10.0)
- there is also mariadb 10.1 in the archive, and since src:mariadb-10.1
  provides a libmariadbd18 binary (provided by src:mariadb-10.0 as
  well), then that library is used at runtime
- the libmariadbd of MariaDB 10.1 knows more error messages than
  MariaDB 10.0, and thus the issue

MariaDB maintainers, I see there's #850147 opened about switching the
default to MariaDB 10.1 -- please do that ASAP, as unstable and testing
are basically broken regarding this since the acceptance of
src:mariadb-10.1 in the archive (more than 3 weeks).

Thanks,
