Package: mariadb-server-10.3 Version: 1:10.3.22-0+deb10u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
After updating Stretch mariadb fails with Jul 25 01:19:38 dog systemd[23576]: mariadb.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /etc/mysql/debian-start: No such file or directory Jul 25 01:19:38 dog systemd[1]: mariadb.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC Jul 25 01:19:40 dog systemd[1]: mariadb.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Jul 25 01:19:40 dog systemd[1]: Failed to start MariaDB 10.3.22 database server. The file debian-start actually has some text inside it saying this file is no longer needed, I deleted it once and got the same error. I recreated it and it all worked again. It seems to have vanished after the update bringing the same situation back. A workaround is to create the file. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages mariadb-server-10.3 depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.71 ii galera-3 25.3.25-2 ii gawk 1:4.2.1+dfsg-1 ii iproute2 4.20.0-2 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libdbi-perl 1.642-1+b1 ii libgnutls30 3.6.7-4+deb10u4 ii libpam0g 1.3.1-5 ii libstdc++6 8.3.0-6 ii lsb-base 10.2019051400 ii lsof 4.91+dfsg-1 ii mariadb-client-10.3 1:10.3.22-0+deb10u1 ii mariadb-common 1:10.3.22-0+deb10u1 ii mariadb-server-core-10.3 1:10.3.22-0+deb10u1 ii passwd 1:4.5-1.1 ii perl 5.28.1-6 ii psmisc 23.2-1 ii rsync 3.1.3-6 ii socat 1.7.3.2-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages mariadb-server-10.3 recommends: ii libhtml-template-perl 2.97-1 Versions of packages mariadb-server-10.3 suggests: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20180807cvs-1 pn mariadb-test <none> pn netcat-openbsd <none> pn tinyca <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid/mariadb-server-10_3 [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid/mariadb-server-10_3' /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/mariadb-server-10_3 [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/mariadb-server-10_3' /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation/mariadb-server-10_3 [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation/mariadb-server-10_3' /etc/mysql/debian-start [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/mysql/debian-start' /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf changed [not included] -- debconf information excluded
