Bug#1033234: MariaDB-Server not installing

[Otto Kekäläinen]

If you want this fixed, try to reproduce the issue again in a
container or virtual machine. I am sure there was something special in
your situation that you did not yet share, perhaps related to previous
MySQL/MariaDB installations on the system the new install interacted
with or something.

Otto,

Thanks for the response. I got it to install. I copied the mariadb.service
file and made a soft link from it to mysql.service. I was able to
successfully run `systemctl stop` against both service files. There was
nothing to stop since there was no database installed but I tricked the
script into thinking that it stopped the database. Anyway it was a little
hacky but I got mariadb-server installed. Sorry I can not help you
reproduce the issue.

What happens if you run manually these

Control: retitle -1 initscript action "stop" failed while running 'apt
install mariadb-server'

Hi!

Can you please provide a reproducible case? Perhaps something I can
run in a Docker container of LXD container to see this happening?

What happens if you run manually these

invoke-rc.d mariadb stop
ps faux | grep mariadb
ps faux | grep mysql
