[debian-mysql] Bug#920608: mariadb-server-10.3: unknown variable 'innodb-large-prefix=on'

[Olaf van der Spek]

Package: mariadb-server-10.3
Version: 1:10.3.12-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

When upgrading from 10.1 to 10.3 and not using the new 10.3 conf files.. 

2019-01-27 11:13:12 0 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown variable 'innodb-large-prefix=on'
2019-01-27 11:13:12 0 [ERROR] Aborting

This is kinda ugly, can't previously known variables be ignored?
I didn't use the new conf files yet because I didn't want to lose local modifications.

Greetings,

Olaf

   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
