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

[Faustin Lammler]

Hi Conrad,
I have just successfully installed mariadb-server (10.1.38-0+deb9u1) on
a fresh Debian Stretch.

There must be something wrong with your setup because fresh installation
of mariadb-server from official Debian repository is widely tested and
we would have a lot more people complaining.

May I ask you to:
- verify that you are using a standard Debian Stretch (not a VPS
  modified one for example) ;
- verify that you are using official Debian repositories ;
- try the installation on a fresh Debian Stretch ;
- provide some more detailed error logs.

Here is how I have just confirmed that mariadb-server can be installed
without problems on a fresh Stretch:
| $ sudo apt update
| $ sudo apt install mariadb-server
| [..]
| $ sudo dpkg -l | grep mariadb-server
| ii  mariadb-server                10.1.38-0+deb9u1             all          MariaDB database server (metapackage depending on the latest version)
| ii  mariadb-server-10.1           10.1.38-0+deb9u1             amd64        MariaDB database server binaries
| ii  mariadb-server-core-10.1      10.1.38-0+deb9u1             amd64        MariaDB database core server files
