HOWTO REPRODUCE
apt-get install mysql-server-5.7 mysql-client-5.7
apt-get purge mysql-server-5.7 mysql-client-5.7
apt-get install mariadb-server-10.1 mariadb-client-10.1
DISCUSSION
The mysql-server-5.7 package install an /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
APPARMOR(7) profile:
# dpkg -S /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
mysql-server-5.7: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
When purging the mysql-server-5.7 server package get purged, the
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld profile is also removed but, it is still
loaded:
# aa-status | grep 'mysqld'
/usr/sbin/mysqld
This lead to MariaDB 1.0 server not being able to start due to MySQL 5.7
APPARMOR(7) profile that is still loaded.
Furthermore, the mariadb-server-10.1 also comes with an APPARMOR(7)
profile which as per it header comments is "intensionally empty to
disable apparmor by default for newer versions of MariaDB".
This is a big mistake as such a profile is simply wrong in regard of
APPARMOR_PARSER(8) and as such, won't be unloaded:
# apparmor_parser -v -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
# aa-status | grep 'mysqld'
/usr/sbin/mysqld
while:
# echo "/usr/sbin/mysqld { }" > /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
# apparmor_parser -v -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
Removal succeeded for "/usr/sbin/mysqld".
# aa-status | grep 'mysqld'
FIX PROPOSAL
1. When mysql-server-5.7 package is being removed/purged, the APPARMOR(7)
profile should be unloaded and removed ranther than be simply removed.
2. The profile provided by the mariadb-server-10.1 package should have correct
syntax in regard of APPARMOR_PARSER(8)
3. The mariadb-server-10.1 package postinst/postrm maintainer scripts should
handle apparmor profile (load/unload)
