The second question is why you did not get any error log output with messages about this problem. I suppose this might be because you had no syslog installed. Elena gave you suggestions for how to resolve/investigate this further. But let me know if you have more problems with this.
Ah, I see in your other mail you already got the log output working.
yes, indeed :)
"error: 99: Cannot assign requested address" - again, this indicates EADDRNOTAVAIL, suggesting that 127.0.0.1 is missing on the system.
But does it mean, I have to install bind to use mariadb-server? I would prefer to not install it ... ;)
So check the network config, and perhaps use different bind address in my.cnf or skip-networking.
Well, in my /etc/networks I have the line <quote> loopback 127.0.0.0 </quote> . But if I use the address, the router has assigned to my Desktop PC (192.168.X.YYY ... ;) ), it works :) Then I can use "apt-get -f install" to fix the installation. But still wondering, if this could not be fixed (say: a pre-install script, which checks the system for a working network and/or which IP address is assigned to the machine or the like ... ;) ), so lusers do not have to do "bad hacks" to install their mariadb-server package ... ;) Thanks again for your help and have a nice day Thomas. -- BOFH excuse #443: Zombie processes detected, machine is haunted.
