Hi Paul > Can you elaborate why it fails, I'm not following development of mariadb > closely.
Sure, yesterday we released an update to the mariadb package that moves the runtime directory from /run/mysqld to /run/mariadbd as part of a general goal of moving MariaDB to its own namespace. In order to maintain compatibility with MySQL, a symlink from /run/mysqld to /run/mariadbd has been added to the mariadb-server-compat package. However, since cacti's tests depend on the mariadb-server package directly, they break with php-mysql searching for /run/mysqld. Moving to test against mariadb-server-compat fixes this issue, and is still representative of what users would have due to "recommends: default-mysql-server". > How is Ubuntu handling this?

Ubuntu currently uses MySQL as the default for default-mysql-* packages, so for the upcoming release 26.10 most packages will continue to match that. However, for this release I am also preparing an update to allow mysql-server and mariadb-server to be co-installed. So once default-mysql-* goes away there, packages will be allowed to depend against either MariaDB or MySQL. The goal will then be to have packages depend on whichever database their upstream recommends. > > Anyways, this package has it's Maintainer field set to "Debian Commons" > [1], feel free to upload changes as you see fit.
