[debian-mysql] Bug#990156: Bug#990156: mariadb-server-10.3: Service configuration fails package upgrade

[Faustin Lammler]

Hi Chris!

I am not able to reproduce this, here are the steps I am using:

- start a systemd podman debian 10 container;
| $ podman run --name sys-test --rm -d fauust/docker-systemd:debian-10
| $ podman exec -it sys-test bash

- activate debian snapshot repo (to install old mariadb-server version
  10.3.27-0+deb10u1);
| # echo "deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20210105 buster main">/etc/apt/sources.list

- install mariadb-server 10.3.27-0+deb10u1, start it and check;
| # apt update && apt install mariadb-server -y
| # systemctl start mariadb && mariadb
| Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
| Your MariaDB connection id is 15
| Server version: 10.3.27-MariaDB-0+deb10u1 Debian 10

|
| Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

- stop mariadb and test the upgrade:
| # systemctl stop mariadb
| # echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main">/etc/apt/sources.list
| # apt update && apt upgrade -y

- verify that mariadb is not started, start it and check the version:
| # systemctl status mariadb

Can you please provide some information about the context and guide me
so I could try to reproduce this?

Also, I don't see how it could influence, but as you seem to be on arm
platform, maybe we should try to reproduce it on this architecture?

Regards,
