Sorry if i am not clear enough.

in fact /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf does not exist as there is a mysql server and not a mariadb one.

I have a perconna mysql server running and i want to install mytop that require a perl lib that require libmariad3b, that then, want to replace /etc/mysql/my.cnf with a link to /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf,
but /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf does not exist while /etc/mysql/my.cnf exist from the percona packages.

hope that clarify ?

sorry not native english speaker too so...
