I could just be blind or ignorant, but I can't see any reason offhand why that process wouldn't be expected to need to be stopped in just the same way as those running under other user IDs. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Re: MariaDB Server is not installing on Debian 12
I have the same problem of not being able to install mariadb-server 1:10.11.2-1. The error is the same - a failed attempt to stop mariadb.service or mysql.service. In my case, there is no service running for either of them, so I have nothing to stop. I also checked, and there's no mariadb.preinst file in /var/lib/dpkg/info. However, I started from these lines in the output: > Errors were encountered while processing: > /var/cache/apt/archives/mariadb-server_1%3a10.11.2-1_amd64.deb and I used dpkg-deb to look in that package file.

Does it count like a bug? Should I file a report? -- Cosmin

I copied the mariadb.service file and made a soft link from it to mysql.service. I was able to successfully run `systemctl stop` against both service files. There was nothing to stop since there was no database installed but I tricked the script into thinking that it stopped the database. Anyway it was a little hacky but I got mariadb-server installed.

MariaDB Server is not installing on Debian 12
I am unable to install MariaDB on debian 12. apt show says the mariadb-server is Version: 1:10.11.2-1. apt upgrade You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
