[debian-mysql] Bug#1122811: mariadb: Upgrade fails from 10.4 when encryption enabled

[Guillem Jover]

Package: mariadb-server
Version: 1:11.8.3-0+deb13u1
Severity: important
Tags: fixed-upstream
Forwarded: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-36556
Control: fixed -1 1:11.8.5-1

Hi!

There's a bug that prevents upgrades from 10.4, when encryption has
been enabled. This is upstream bug MDEV-36556 which has been fixed in
1:11.8.5-1 in Debian unstable/testing, and is briefly described in the
upstream 11.8.4 release notes as:

  MariaDB upgrade fails when using innodb_encrypt_tables=ON and
  innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32, which is not the default.
  innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32 is used only if explicitly
  specified or if the table has been created which MariaDB 10.4 or
  a prior version.

It would be great to get the fix for this into Debian stable, either as
a specific targeted backport of the fix or a new micro version including
it, which I guess might have happened eventually anyway, but wanted to
file this to track progress for it.

Thanks,
Guillem
