[debian-mysql] Bug#939863: Bug#939863: mariadb-server-10.3: won't start without libjemalloc1 from jessie

[Cory Petkovsek]

Mystery solved. I had upgraded two different servers from debian mysql
5.6 and oracle mysql 5.7 to mariadb-10.3. The packages were drop in
replacements, but when I removed libjemalloc1, mariadb wouldn't start
because my former DBA had put this in my.cnf:

[mysqld_safe]
socket          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
nice            = 0
malloc-lib = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjemalloc.so.1

Commenting that line out, or putting in libjemalloc2 and changing it
to .so.2 both work fine.

Thanks for looking at it and sorry for the trouble. This can be closed.
