[debian-mysql] Bug#1067491: time_t transition upgrade: failed systemctl call in preinst due to missing pre-dependencies

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Thanks Wouter for reporting this and Michael for submitting a merge
request for a potential fix!

The libcrypto.so.3 is from the OpenSSL package. In your upgrade case
it seems to be switching from
libssl3 [i386] to libssl3t64 [i386]. Your MariaDB packages are amd64.
This makes me wonder what is actually going on.

Were you able to recover? Can you now run manually 'systemctl --system
daemon-reload'?

This is the line dpkg was most likely running:
