[debian-mysql] Bug#926312: Bug#926312: MariaDB couldn't start after fresh install

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hello!

Thanks for reporting.

The file /etc/mysql/debian-start is shipped as part of the
mariadb-server-10.1 package:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/mariadb-server-10.1/filelist

This has been the case for about 4 years and there has not been any
recent changes to this:
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.1/blame/stretch/debian/mariadb-server-10.1.install

I would be surprised if a fresh install, the most typical use case,
would be broken.

Are you sure the install is really fresh?

I have no idea how this could have happened. I'd appreciate if you dig
deeper. There is an upcoming stable update to MariaDB so if there is a
problem, it would get fixed and shipped soon.
