[debian-mysql] Bug#1058671: mariadb-server: [Warning] You need to use --log-bin to make --expire-logs-days or --binlog-expire-logs-seconds work.

[Daniel Lewart]

Package: mariadb-server
Version: 1:10.11.4-1~deb12u1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Otto, et al,

Starting mariadb-server generates the following message:
    [Warning] You need to use --log-bin to make --expire-logs-days or --binlog-expire-logs-seconds work.

50-server.cnf includes the following lines:
    #log_bin                = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
    expire_logs_days        = 10
log_bin defaults to OFF, thus the warning.

Commenting out "expire_log_days" is a simple fix.
Patch below.

Thank you!
