[debian-mysql] Bug#993219: mariadb-server-core: Akonadi database - mysql_upgrade fails always with "FATAL ERROR: Can't execute 'mysqlcheck'"

[Ulrich Beckmann]

Package: mariadb-server-core-10.5
Version: 1:10.5.11-1
Severity: normal
File: mariadb-server-core

Dear Maintainer,

   The redo log was corrupted before upgrade to Debian bullseye. Akonadi would not start.
   see https://debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=181760&start=15#p1280104 (German language)

   I invoked mysql_upgrade to check and repair the MariaDB system tables
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bequimao at bullseye-kde:~$ mysql_upgrade --defaults-file=/home/bequimao/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf --socket=/run/user/1000/akonadi/mysql.socket -v
Looking for 'mysql' as: mysql
Looking for 'mysqlcheck' as: mysqlcheck
FATAL ERROR: Can't execute 'mysqlcheck'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  NB. I repeated the test in a fresh install of Debian 11 KDE Plasma in a VM (Qemu/KVM) and Debian testing.
      Always had the same error message.
