Package: mariadb-server
Version: 1:11.4.3-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
First of all - the mariadb packages are really great, and the new
passwordless root setup is awesome, thanks for all your work.
One small thing though - If you use `mysqldump` from a version prior
to passwordless root, and then restore that on a new installation,
you lose the passwordless root account, and restore the debian-sys-maint
and passworded-root accounts.
While this is obvious and not really a bug, it seems like a common
situation that can cause lots of confusion (took me a while to figure
out what was going on) and it would be really great if the
README.Debian.gz could document how to properly restore the correct
settings (maybe even a simple script that could be run).
Thanks!
