[Maria-discuss] Cannot install Mariadb-server-5.2
Hi I have been struggling to get mariadb to work. My problems have been either the server is very erratic, usually will not start it. After trying a complete reinstall I can not install the mariadb-server-5.2 package either from the repository or from a deb. I am using Ubuntu/Pinguy 11.04. The installation results from apt-get or aptitude are sudo aptitude install mariadb-server-5.2 The following NEW packages will be installed: mariadb-server-5.2 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 21 not upgraded. Need to get 13.6 MB of archives. After unpacking 30.8 MB will be used.

It seems that you already have (parts of) mariadb 5.3 installed. Look at the output of 'dpkg -l | grep maria' and then apt-get remove all of those. Then try again. Good luck! Walter On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 04:26, planas <jslozier@gmail.com> wrote:
