steps to reproduce and fix this seem to be simple so I'm posting it here

Hi Daniel,
thank you for your help on this bug report.
Could you confirm what step led to this situation?
Could you give me the following information:
- version of mariadb-common that you are installing (apt-get download
mariadb-common) ;
- copy paste the result of the following command:
$ dpkg
I have the same error:
update-alternatives: error: alternative path /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf
doesn't exist
And this is content of /etc/mysql
ls /etc/mysql
conf.d mariadb.conf.d my.cnf my.cnf.fallback
