Hence I believe that the line:

   if [ -x "$(command -v systemctl)" ]; then

Should be replaced by:

   if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then
I am not sure that this is what we want here. Indeed, doing this would
lead to the execution of `invoke-rc.d mariadb restart` in your
particular case (but you are using systemd not sysv init). Or I am
missing something?


Oh, indeed, you're completely right, I don't want to run the line `invoke-rc.d ...`. In my case, and since systemd is not running, I think that the maintscript should not try to restart mariadb at all.

I *think* the code should be something like that:

    if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then
      systemctl daemon-reload
    elif [ -x "/etc/init.d/mariadb" ]; then
      invoke-rc.d mariadb restart
    fi

(note that it's exactly what is done at the end of this file, after the `#DEBHELPER#` line).


Could point me to the steps in your CI where this happen so I can try to
reproduce it?


This particular CI is unfortunately not public, however I can give you a procedure to reproduce the issue with Debian. The trick is to get the right package versions so that an update of mysql-common triggers mariadb-server (that's what happened in the Kali CI).

And so, here it goes:

    ## debootstrap an old version of sid
    sudo debootstrap sid debdir \
        http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20201205T204928Z
    sudo systemd-nspawn -D debdir

    ## install mariadb
    apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update
    apt-get install mariadb-server-10.5

    [...]
    mariadb-server-10.5 amd64 1:10.5.8-3
    mysql-common all 5.8+1.0.6
    [...]

    ## upgrade to debian testing
    echo 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian testing main' > /etc/apt/sources.list
    apt-get update
    apt-get dist-upgrade

    [...]
    mysql-common all 5.8+1.0.7
    [...]
    Processing triggers for mariadb-server-10.5 (1:10.5.8-3) ...
    System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
    Failed to connect to bus: Host is down
    dpkg: error processing package mariadb-server-10.5 (--configure):
     installed mariadb-server-10.5 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     mariadb-server-10.5
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Cheers,
