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

[Faustin Lammler]

Hi Calum!
Thanks for providing more information.

Unfortunately, I am still not able to reproduce the problem and your
logs show that mariadb server 10.3 is upgraded to 10.5. So what was the
problem for you?

Here are the scenarios that I have tested.

Upgrade 10.3 to 10.5 on the actual sid container:
- start a debian:sid container;
- add buster to sources.list (to be able to install mariadb-server-10.3);
- install mariadb-server-10.3;
- upgrade mariadb-server-10.3 to mariadb-server-10.5.

Upgrade 10.3 to 10.5 on the actual buster container:
- start a debian:buster container;
- install mariadb-server-10.3;
- add sid to sources.list;
- apt upgrade && apt full-upgrade.

Upgrade 10.3 to 10.5 on the debian:sid-20201209 container (using
https://snapshot.debian.org/):
- start a debian:sid-20201209 container;
- add http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20201215 to the
  sources.list file:
    echo "deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20201215 sid main">/etc/apt/sources.list
- install mariadb-server-10.3 (10.3.24-2 version) from
  snapshot.debian.org:
    apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update
    apt-get install mariadb-server-10.3
- upgrade 10.3 to 10.5.

So, without more information on the exact problem and because I can't
reproduce it, I guess that there is nothing more that we can do here...
