Here mariadb (10.3) is to be REMOVED, but 10.5 doesn't appear to get installed.

Before dist-upgrade:
# dpkg -l|grep mariadb

ii  mariadb-server                  1:10.3.27-0+deb10u1            all          MariaDB database server (metapackage depending on the latest version)

rc  mariadb-client-10.3             1:10.3.27-0+deb10u1            i386         MariaDB database client binaries
ii  mariadb-common                  1:10.5.9-1                     all          MariaDB common configuration files

mariadb-server can be installed again afterwards, maybe apt has trouble with galera-3?
