I'm not the original bug submitter, but I hope I can offer some help, as
I have successfully worked around the problem;

Here, the mysql server was not running, and the mariadb-server-10.3
upgrade failed.

I couldn't restart the server, but after some searching the internet I
found that doing the following:

root# rm /var/lib/mysql/ib*
user$ /etc/init.d/mysql start

got the server running.  Then, I tried:

#dpkg --configure mariadb-server-10.3

which, after a few minutes, succeeded.

I have no idea how, when or why the problem (i.e. server stopped running)
occurred, but I'm now back on track.

I hope this of help to the original submitter, as well as yourself.
