Can you provide me steps on how to reproduce this? What packages
exactly did you have installed before the upgrade (mariadb-*,
default-mysql-server, something that depends on mariadb-* or mysql-*)?


When I tested dist-upgrade today, it does not even install
mariadb-server automatically (due to the removes of old packages) and
I needed to apt install it manually. When done so, everything removed
and upgraded as expected.
