Package: mariadb-server-10.1 Version: 10.1.38-0+deb9u1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
after an upgrade from 10.1.37-0+deb9u1 to 10.1.38-0+deb9u1, the mysql server does not start anymore via systemd. Manually starting the mysql server works fine. systemctl status mariadb.service displays ● mariadb.service - MariaDB 10.1.38 database server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2019-05-25 14:58:09 CEST; 1s ago Docs: man:mysqld(8) https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/systemd/ Process: 17160 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/install -m 755 -o mysql -g root -d /var/run/mysqld (code=exited, status=127) Main PID: 12930 (code=exited, status=127) CPU: 0 May 25 14:58:09 webconfire systemd[1]: Starting MariaDB 10.1.38 database server...

Manually editing the systemd service file in /lib/systemd/system/ to remove all ExecStartPre lines also does not work. The service file is not modified, the same issue occurs even after removing the service file and forcing a reinstall.
