Package: mariadb-server-10.1 Followup-For: Bug #865931 Dear Maintainer,
I think this bug can be closed because MariaDB works as intended and as documented in /usr/share/doc/mariadb-server-10.1/README.Debian.gz The database root user is not supposed to log in with a password, but via the unix_socket plugin with the system root user. To the users who reported the issue: please don't change the settings of the root user, you'll break the maintenance scripts. Creating an additional admin user is what Debian maintainers recommend in /usr/share/doc/mariadb-server-10.1/README.Debian.gz in the PASSWORDS section, also here: https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.1/blob/stretch/debian/mariadb-server-10.1.README.Debian#L73 Ciao, Antonio -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages mariadb-server-10.1 depends on: ii adduser 3.117 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.66 ii galera-3 25.3.22-1 ii gawk 1:4.1.4+dfsg-1+b1 ii iproute2 4.15.0-2 ii libaio1 0.3.110-5 ii libc6 2.27-1 ii libdbi-perl 1.640-1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.7 ii libstdc++6 8-20180218-1 ii libsystemd0 238-1 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 ii lsof 4.89+dfsg-0.1 ii mariadb-client-10.1 1:10.1.29-6 ii mariadb-common 1:10.1.29-6 ii mariadb-server-core-10.1 1:10.1.29-6 ii passwd 1:4.5-1 ii perl 5.26.1-5 ii psmisc 23.1-1 ii rsync 3.1.2-2.1 ii socat 1.7.3.2-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages mariadb-server-10.1 recommends: ii libhtml-template-perl 2.97-1 Versions of packages mariadb-server-10.1 suggests: ii mailutils [mailx] 1:3.4-1 ii netcat-openbsd 1.187-1 pn tinyca <none> -- debconf information excluded -- Antonio Ospite https://ao2.it https://twitter.com/ao2it A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
