But currently most of the forces are working on including 10.3 in the next stable Debian release so I don't know when this issue will be resolved. > By the way, did you check whether this is fixed in 10.3 only or also in > the 10.1 package from the mariadb.org repositories. As said, I have tested 10.1 and 10.3 from mariadb repo, they are both OK. If you have time and want to contribute on a patch, feel free to read this :-) https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MySQL/patches Have a nice week-end, -- Faustin Lammler

Hi Faustin, thanks for linking the upstream bugreport! Seeing that it is from 2015, it would be great to get some traction on this and finally have this fixed in the debian repo as well :-) By the way, did you check whether this is fixed in 10.3 only or also in the 10.1 package from the mariadb.org repositories. Best regards Yannik
Bug#915130: [debian-mysql] Bug#915130: Further information
Hi Yannik, thanks for your report! I am able to reproduce this and the problem is only present in the Debian package version of MariaDB. This bug seems also described there: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-8457 If this is an acceptable solution until the bug is resolved, you can use the 10.1 (on 10.3 it is working too) version from official MariaDB repository. https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/ Regards, Faustin
Bug#915130: Further information
I'd like to add the following instructions on how to reproduce the problem: $ apt purge maria* # if mariadb was installed previously. also select "remove all mariadb databases" during purging $ debconf-set-selections <<< "mariadb-server-10.1 mysql-server/root_password password hello" $ debconf-set-selections <<< "mariadb-server-10.1 mysql-server/root_password_again password hello" $ debconf-get-selections |grep maria mariadb-server-10.1 mysql-server/root_password password hello mariadb-server-10.1 mysql-server/root_password_again password hello $ apt install -y mariadb-server-10.1 $mysql mysql <<< "select Host,User,Password,plugin from user;" Host User Password plugin localhost root unix_socket Also, the password remains in the debconf database, which is a security issue: $ debconf-get-selections |grep maria mariadb-server-10.1 mysql-server/root_password password hello mariadb-server-10.1 mysql-server/root_password_again password hello mariadb-server-10.1 mariadb-server-10.1/postrm_remove_databases boolean false mariadb-server-10.1 mariadb-server-10.1/old_data_directory_saved note mariadb-server-10.1 mariadb-server-10.1/nis_warning note The same is valid when using mariadb-server-10.1/root_password as key: $ debconf-get-selections |grep maria mariadb-server-10.1 mariadb-server-10.1/root_password password hello mariadb-server-10.1 mariadb-server-10.1/root_password_again password hello mariadb-server-10.1 mariadb-server-10.1/nis_warning note mariadb-server-10.1 mariadb-server-10.1/postrm_remove_databases boolean false mariadb-server-10.1 mariadb-server-10.1/old_data_directory_saved note
