[debian-mysql] Package: galera-arbitrator-3 need to be corrected

[Alexander Ivanou]

Hi!

The other day I ran into a problem described by the link
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=874025
This report is in the archive, so I write to you directly.
As a solution to this problem, it is proposed to contact the code
developer, but I was able to find out that this behavior is caused
precisely by the lack of package assembly, and not by the developer error.

The developer documentation at
https://galeracluster.com/library/documentation/arbitrator.html
has these lines:
"Note When Galera Arbitrator starts, the script executes a sudo statement
as the user nobody during its process..."
Thus, the "sudo" package must be specified in the necessary package
dependencies section. Otherwise, the start of the arbitrator will stop with
code 1, as indicated in the report.

About a year and a half ago, I put this arbitrator package on and
everything was fine. But, apparently, when updating or cleaning the server
from old packages, the sudo package was uninstalled. At the same time, the
arbitrator continued to work and worked until he had to restart it.

I think if you add sudo to the necessary dependencies, then uninstalling it
by accident will be impossible. Also, when installing a package on a server
without a ship, there should not be a problem with the launch described
earlier in the report using the first link from this message.
