How does one post a bug?
This is the place to report a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maria/+bugs You're better off opening two separate bug reports, plus also telling us *exactly* what you were doing (also a list of packages on the system). It looks like you've installed 5.3, downgraded to 5.2, and are having issues correct? <snipped>
I have spent days trying to fully resolve this. One should be able uninstall and reinstall a package as needed without tracking down bugs in the installer or uninstaller scripts. Logs have been blank or just repeat the above information.
You're right. DPKG seems to be exiting so we're clearly having some packaging issue I wonder if an apt-get -f install might help here... ? However, since something isn't being removed correctly quite possibly, running dpkg --purge --force-depends mariadb-server-5.2 (and replace with 5.3 as well) might help cheers, -c -- Colin Charles, http://bytebot.net/blog/ | twitter: @bytebot | skype: colincharles MariaDB: Community developed.
