[debian-mysql] Bug#1035944: mariadb: upgrade issue: mariadb-server-10.5 fails to restart after upgrading mariadb-common

[Andreas Beckmann]

Source: mariadb
Version: 1:10.11.2-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + mariadb-plugin-gssapi-server

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'bullseye'.
It installed fine in 'bullseye', then the upgrade to 'bookworm' fails.

This test was planned to do a 2-stage upgrade:
  apt-get upgrade && apt-get distupgrade
(the first part does not install any new packages, that will happen in
the second part) but the first part already failed.

I try to summarize what seems to happen:

* In a bullseye chroot (which alles starting services) install
  mariadb-plugin-gssapi-server
* switch sources.list to bookworm, run 'apt-get update'
* run 'apt-get upgrade'
  - this only upgrades mysql-common and mariadb-common
  - this triggers a mariadb-server-10.5 restart which fails

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

This might indicate that mariadb-common needs a Breaks: mariadb-server-10.5

I cannot reproduce this by testing default-mariadb-server in
the same way, so mariadb-plugin-gssapi-server seems to be needed to
trigger that bug.


cheers,

Andreas
