Package: mariadb-common
Version: 1:10.5.15-0+deb11u1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
After installing mailutils which uses mariadb-common as a
dependency, I uninstalled mailutils and ran `apt autoremove`
which removed mariadb-common. mysql server then ran into a fatal
error as /etc/mysql/my.cnf contains the line "!includedir
/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/" in its default configuration.
Re-making the directory /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d solves the issue.

Hi!
Latest version of MariaDB in Debian unstable/testing/Bookworm is
10.11.2. You might want to consider testing it.
If you want to contribute in the open source way to fix this or any
other issue, see
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/wikis/Contributing-to-MariaDB-packaging-in-Debian
on how to submit a Merge Request!
If you have time to help, please consider these (in order of importance):
1. Review current open MRs at
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/merge_requests
2. Review items highlighted by Debian QA systems (Lintian, builds etc)
and submit a fix to improve the quality:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mariadb
3. Review what testing we have at
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/pipelines and
think about potential gaps - CI is very important as it is the only
way we can prevent regressions in a scalable way
4. Review/follow-up on existing bugs that currently need more
information:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=mariadb&src=mariadb-10.6&src=mariadb-10.5&src=mariadb-10.3&src=mariadb-10.1
MariaDB and C++ skills are useful, but not required. For example
reviewing the NEWS for 10.11 requires no coding skills:
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/merge_requests/37
My request for help from debian-devel in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2023/02/msg00272.html did not
get many responses, so the future of this package depends on how
active the users and people who previously reported bugs are in
participating in the maintenance of the package.
- Otto
