Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 24.04 systems, the MariaDB service frequently remains stopped after
unattended-upgrades, also when library packages (libc6, libssl, libgnutls,
systemd-libs, etc.) are upgraded.
During the automated update process, MariaDB is stopped by dpkg, but its
restart frequently fails causing a full database outage until a manual
systemctl start mariadb is executed.
This happens even though unattended-upgrades reports no critical error, and the
system continues normally with MariaDB silently down.
A very similar issue is documented in MariaDB's own official documentation:
“MariaDB service takes too long to start, triggering a timeout… dpkg fails… the
server may be left not configured or stopped.”
[serverfault.com]
Additionally, MariaDB filed an upstream bug showing the service shutting
down normally during auto updates and then crashing or timing out when
restarted automatically on Ubuntu 24.04:
“MariaDB Crashes during auto updates on Ubuntu 24.04” (MDEV‑36505)
[support.zabbix.com]
Together these sources confirm that this issue is reproducible and not isolated.
Is there any fix that can be delivered by Ubuntu in order to avoid this?
