maria 1:10.5.19-0+deb11u1 significantly broke MythTV, at least v31
packaged at deb-multimedia.  It wouldn't delete shows and had trouble
saving other information.  I spent significant time tracking this down.

I cured the myth problems by downgrading maria back to
1:10.5.18-0+deb11u1, but was pleased to discover that you undid the
10.6 versioning scheme with 1:10.5.18-0+deb11u2, which also works
fine.

At least I think the changes are to the versioning scheme.  Is there
any direct way to see the changes between the 2 most recent stable releases?

Your fix was motivated by a problem with akonadi
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1033654) but the
problems extended further.

In case you're not aware, there are also bugs related to this for
libqtsql (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031863).
I guess qtsql will have to change to work with 10.6, but that's not an
issue for stable.

And myth v32 and v33 reportedly also have changes to deal with this.
Myth uses maria and the QtSQL libraries.

Many different theories for the cause of the problems in Myth are
floating around; as far as I can tell there's no definitive
diagnosis--e.g., why the version switch should matter, or how that
relates to problems handling datetimestamps that end with Z.

Thanks for tracking down and fixing this so quickly.
