Package: mariadb-server-10.1 Version: unsure exactly - prior to today's security update Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, Please excuse me setting the severity as grave. Under the circumstance it seems appropriate, but I'm not 100% sure. FYI TurnKey Linux is a Debian derivative which builds "software appliances" using mostly Debian packages, many with upstream software pre-installed on top. It has Debian (and TurnKey) security updates automatically installed daily via cron-apt. As of the (automated) installation of today's MariaDB server security update (10.1.37-0+deb9u1) all of our user's LAMP based appliances uninstalled mariadb-server (i.e. default-mysql-server, mysql-server, mariadb-server-10.1 & mariadb-client-10.1) and thus most of web based software stopped functioning. The expected outcome was that the packages were simply updated to the latest security update and continued functioning. We're still not sure exactly what caused this, but would like to note the issue. Assitance in ensuring that this sort of issue doesn't reoccur would also be welcomed. It only appears to be an issue if security only updates are installed. A full upgrade does not cause the same issue. The resolution is to simply reinstall default-mysql-server (which depends on mariadb-server-10.1 & mariadb-client-10.1 - mysql-server is an un-needed transitional package). Please note that this report was created on a freshly launched WordPress appliance (based on LAMP) with security updates installed on firstboot (and without the above menitoned fix applied). Please ask if you need any further info.
