Ah, thank you. I was not aware of the mariadb-client-compat package.
The cron script comes from a third-party debian package, so I didn't want to mess with it. I had created my own `/usr/bin/mysqlcheck -> mariadb-check` symlink as a workaround, but now that I know of the mariadb-client-compat package, I have removed that symlink and installed the package instead. Thanks, this report can be closed.
