Package: mariadb-server Version: 10.1.23-9+deb9u1
While installing it, doesnt show the screen where it asks for the mariadb root password. This is the first signal. Finally when the package is installed, it shows that there is no valid configuration because its giving access and privileges issues, allowing to open the bd with any password, "cnf" files inside /etc/mysql/ arent showing any configuration values like it did with past versions or the latest from mariadb repo (instead of the official debían stretch repos). This behavior is showing that there is something in the debían package causing it to not trigger some script to configure properly the service. As a suggested solution, cannot provide anything more than the version I have tested and worked well for me. Which is the one hosted on the mariadb repo, reachable here Link <https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/#mirror=tedeco&distro=Debian&distro_release=stretch--stretch&version=10.2>. The version of the used system is Linux debian 4.9.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2+deb9u3 (2017-08-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux and libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1. The system is a fresh install, just added sudo, openssh-server and changed the ip to be static, then install mariadb-server.
