Hello! I triaged all MariaDB bugs in Debian today and noticed the following bug reports are very similar:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=988089 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=976147 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=977137 I request your help to test, debug and fix the MariaDB 10.3 -> 10.5 upgrade issues you have experienced. The better you can reproduce the issues, the easier they are to investigate. Ideally somebody would write an extension to our current https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.5/-/blob/master/debian/salsa-ci.yml which would test the upgrade scenario on every commit and thus verify when the issue is fixed, and prevent it from re-surfacing in the future. Here is a debian-devel thread where I learnt new ways to run apt in debug mode to better see why it chooses to upgrade/remove certain packages, it might be helpful here too: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2021/03/msg00139.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2021/03/msg00131.html
