In my case I had MySQL and wanted to install MariaDB. After using MariaDB for some time I decided it was not for me and tried to go back to MySQL. That's when hell started. There is no way to recover what I had before and everything I try seems to fail. I thought I had it finally working but I now get these MySQL crashes all the time.
