[debian-mysql] Bug#1035949: mariadb: upgrade issue: mariadb-server-10.5 fails to stop after all other -10.5 packages were removed

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Indeed the transitional mariadb-server-10.5 fixes the issue.

What do you Andreas suggest we do now?

It is already past freeze for Bookworm, and this is not just a small
fix but also introduces a new package (albeit transitional). Let me
know how you want to proceed and I can immediately tomorrow push this
to experimental or unstable if that is aligned with your plan.
Alternatively we can ask for pre-approval from the release team.
