[debian-mysql] Bug#976147: Bug#976147: Upgrade from mariadb-server-10.3 to mariadb-server-10.5 fails

[Faustin Lammler]

Hi Jörg!
I am not sure that I understand what are the steps that I could follow
to verify this.

Are you trying to dist-upgrade from buster to sid?

In that case, I was not able to reproduce the error in a container with
the following steps:
| # podman run -it debian:10 bash
| # apt update
| # apt upgrade
| # apt install mariadb-server -y
| # dpkg -l | grep mariadb-server
| ii  mariadb-server           1:10.3.25-0+deb10u1 all   MariaDB database server (metapackage depending on the latest version)
| ii  mariadb-server-10.3      1:10.3.25-0+deb10u1 amd64 MariaDB database server binaries
| ii  mariadb-server-core-10.3 1:10.3.25-0+deb10u1 amd64 MariaDB database core server files
| # printf 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main' >/etc/apt/sources.list
| # apt update
| # apt upgrade
| # apt dist-upgrade
| Reading package lists... Done
| Building dependency tree
| Reading state information... Done
| Calculating upgrade... Done
| The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
|   fdisk libapt-pkg5.0 libfdisk1 libffi6 libhogweed4 libnettle6 libperl5.28 libreadline5 libreadline7 perl-modules-5.28
| Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
| The following packages will be REMOVED:
|   galera-3 mariadb-client-10.3 mariadb-client-core-10.3 mariadb-server-10.3 mariadb-server-core-10.3
| The following NEW packages will be installed:
|   galera-4 libedit2 libprocps8 mariadb-client-10.5 mariadb-client-core-10.5 mariadb-server-10.5 mariadb-server-core-10.5 procps
| The following packages have been kept back:
|   gcc-8-base
| The following packages will be upgraded:
|   mariadb-server
| 1 upgraded, 8 newly installed, 5 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
| Need to get 14.5 MB of archives.
| After this operation, 11.1 MB disk space will be freed.
| Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
| ...
| # dpkg -l | grep mariadb-server
| ii  mariadb-server           1:10.5.8-3          all   MariaDB database server (metapackage depending on the latest version)
| rc  mariadb-server-10.3      1:10.3.25-0+deb10u1 amd64 MariaDB database server binaries
| ii  mariadb-server-10.5      1:10.5.8-3          amd64 MariaDB database server binaries
| ii  mariadb-server-core-10.5 1:10.5.8-3          amd64 MariaDB database core server files

Can you please give us more details about the steps?

Regards,
Faustin
