Hi,
As I specified I had mariadb-server and mariadb-server-core locked with
a package hold to avoid updating mariadb unless we mean to update it.
As part of a routine update of the machine, excluding mariadb, prior to
a reboot, we ran dist-upgrade on it. The dist-upgrade upgraded the
compression plugins for mariadb. This caused mariadb to not start
afterwards as the plugins had a version mismatch (and ABI mismatch for
all I know).
I had to downgrade the plugins so they had matching versions with the
mariadb server packages to get the mariadb going again.
I have no problem with the dependency itself, but it seems that the
dependency must also require that the versions of the mariadb server
packages and compression plugins correspond.
Regards,
Nicolai

Hi!
Currently in

we have
Package: mariadb-server
Architecture: any
Suggests: mailx,
mariadb-test,
netcat-openbsd
Recommends: libhtml-template-perl,
mariadb-plugin-provider-bzip2,
mariadb-plugin-provider-lz4,

and
Package: mariadb-plugin-provider-bzip2

Depends: mariadb-server (>= 1:10.11.1-1),
${misc:Depends},

The server recommending the plugins is a result of
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/merge_requests/36.
The plugin 'depends' on the server has existed from the start, and
thus the title of this bug report is misleading. You probably did
indeed run into a bug, the question is just what that bug actually
was.
In your bug report, please be specific of what was the actual bug
symptoms you encountered and what triggered it. If possible, attach a
copy-paste of the command you ran and the output.
Even better if you can provide a reproducible test case that can be
run for example in a container to prove that a specific upgrade
scenario is broken.
Keep in mind that Debian is open source and we do not provide support.
In the spirit of open source you need to participate in debugging the
issues you encounter yourself and provide detailed bug reports. If you
want somebody else to do the debugging work on behalf of you, please
contract a service provider (e.g. one listed at
https://mariadb.org/about/#service-providers).
Thanks!
