Hi all,
Solved, by issuing
/usr/libexec/mysql/mysql-systemd-helper upgrade
by hand. No idea why it went wrong when the command was issued by systemd.

Hi,
Running mariadb on opensuse tumbleweed, (TW) one of the last
TW-snapshots updated mariadb from 11.8.2 to 11.8.3.
Just before the upgrade mariadb was happily running, but after the the
TW-upgrade and in that the upgrade of mariadb, mariadb does not start.
systemctl nor journalctl are very helpful in what is causing the trouble:
systemctl status mariadb says
× mariadb.service - MariaDB database server

journalctl -xeu mariadb.service reports the same.
The logfile in /var/log/mysql/mysqld.log has only entries from when
mariadb was running, reporting it has stopped normally in the last entry.
What could be going wrong here?
Any help appreciated!
regards, Jogchum
