I can still not reproduce this.

Could you paste here exact steps and commands (can you also provide as
much info as you can about the instance you are running, maybe the
output of `dpkg -l`, in order to understand what packages are
installed).

Here are my test in podman containers:
| $ podman run --name sys-test --rm -d fauust/docker-systemd:debian-11
| $ podman exec -it sys-test bash
| root at c0f7ab73450a:/# apt update && apt install -y mariadb-server && apt install -y mailutils
| ...
| root at c0f7ab73450a:/# dpkg -l | grep mariadb-common
| ii  mariadb-common             1:10.5.15-0+deb11u1          all          MariaDB common configuration files
| root at c0f7ab73450a:/# systemctl start mariadb
| root at c0f7ab73450a:/# ps fax | grep mariadb
|     PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
|    4355 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/sbin/mariadbd
| root at c0f7ab73450a:/# apt remove -y mailutils && apt autoremove -y

| Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
