That is, sorry, so utterly wrong ... Renaming the old my.cnf must be done by mysql-common (using dpkg-maintscript-helper mv_conffile), because that is the only way to make dpkg forget about the old conffile (and its hashes) that will be replaced by a symlink which is (probably) managed by scripts and not by dpkg. > It as absolutely necessary to do, otherwise the package is broken. Depends: mysql-common (>= FIXED_VERSION) And yes, this config file transition should have started in mysql-common, not mariadb.
