Re: MythTV (installed from dmo) and libmariadb3:

I've just installed libmariadb3 11.8.9+ds-1 from unstable on my MythTV
system running 1:36.0+fixes20260801.git0d26328-dmo1, and MythTV works
fine: recordings take place and upcoming recordings are scheduled
normally.

Downgrading to libmariadb3 11.8.8-1 in testing breaks everything.

So, from the MythTV perspective, it looks as though the new MariaDB
11.8.9 packages should be safe to install for MythTV users. I'll
update if I notice any issues over the next day(s).
