[debian-mysql] Bug#1032407: Bug#1032407: Cannot start mariadb-server unless manually mkdir -p /var/lib/mysql

[Faustin Lammler]

Hi Thomas!
This seems like a normal behavior to me, at least this is what the
/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf says:
| # Note: The configured log file or its directory need to be created
| # and be writable by the mysql user, e.g.:
| # $ sudo mkdir -m 2750 /var/log/mysql
| # $ sudo chown mysql /var/log/mysql

Also, I am not able to reproduce this on a fresh container:
| ❯ podman run --name 1032407 --rm -d fauust/docker-systemd:debian-12
| ❯ podman exec -it 1032407 bash -c "apt-get update && apt-get install -y mariadb-server && systemctl start mariadb && systemctl status mariadb"

Can you maybe point me to the steps that makes you think that there is a
problem?
