[debian-mysql] Bug#1004262: Bug#1004262: Acknowledgement (mariadb-server: Instead of being upgraded, mariadb-server gets removed after apt update)

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hello!

As part of our CI we run a Bullseye MariaDB 10.5 to Debian Sid MariaDB
10.6 upgrade on every commit. If passes correctly with:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  mariadb-client-10.5 mariadb-client-core-10.5 mariadb-server-10.5
  mariadb-server-core-10.5
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libdaxctl1 libkmod2 libndctl6 libnuma1 libodbc2 libodbccr2 libpcre2-posix3
  libpmem1 liburing2 mariadb-client-10.6 mariadb-client-core-10.6
  mariadb-server-10.6 mariadb-server-core-10.6

To continue with solving this issue I would like to first get it
reproduced in the CI. The root cause why we have an upgrade issue is
that there is a scenario users can hit that is not covered by our CI.
Fixing that would ensure proper testing coverage and forever working
MariaDB upgrades.
