Hello,
$ cat /etc/debian_version
12.10
An automated apt update/upgrade failed last night. On trying again, I get:
$ sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade
<snip>
Preconfiguring packages ...

Setting up mariadb-common (1:10.11.11-0+deb12u1) ...
update-alternatives: error: alternative path /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf doesn't
exist
dpkg: error processing package mariadb-common (--configure):
installed mariadb-common package post-installation script subprocess returned
error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
mariadb-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
/etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf doesn't exist on my system, but is provided within the
package:
$ ls /etc/mysql/*cnf
/etc/mysql/debian.cnf
$ dpkg -x /var/cache/apt/archives/mariadb-common_1%3a10.11.11-0+deb12u1_all.deb
~/deb
$ dpkg -e /var/cache/apt/archives/mariadb-common_1%3a10.11.11-0+deb12u1_all.deb
~/deb
$ ls ~/deb/etc/mysql/*cnf
/home/user/deb/etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf
$ tail ~/deb/postinst
# Thus, we need to ensure here that mariadb.cnf indeed became the primary
# alternative and override with priority 500 if needed.
if ! update-alternatives --query my.cnf | grep --quiet "Value:
/etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf"
then
update-alternatives --install /etc/mysql/my.cnf my.cnf
"/etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf" 500 || true
fi
;;
esac
Isn't this supposed to add/replace mariadb.cnf from the package into
/etc/mysql/?
FWIW:
$ update-alternatives --query my.cnf | grep --quiet "Value:
/etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf"
update-alternatives: warning: alternative /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf (part of link
group my.cnf) doesn't exist; removing from list of alternatives
update-alternatives: warning: alternative /etc/mysql/my.cnf.fallback (part of
link group my.cnf) doesn't exist; removing from list of alternatives
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Gareth
