[debian-mysql] Bug#985320: mariadb-common: Spurious messages when installing package

[jpp]

Package: mariadb-common
Version: 1:10.5.9-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

When upgrading python3-mysqldb apt also update mariadb-common and I get some
spurious messages :
Setting up mariadb-common (1:10.5.9-1) ...
update-alternatives: using /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf to provide /etc/mysql/my.cnf
(my.cnf) in auto mode
update-alternatives: warning: not replacing /etc/mysql/my.cnf with a link
I didn't have MariaDB installed (i am running mysql 5.7.33).

Regards

JP P
