Hi Conrad, I have just successfully installed mariadb-server (10.1.38-0+deb9u1) on a fresh Debian Stretch.
There must be something wrong with your setup because fresh installation of mariadb-server from official Debian repository is widely tested and we would have a lot more people complaining. May I ask you to: - verify that you are using a standard Debian Stretch (not a VPS modified one for example) ; - verify that you are using official Debian repositories ; - try the installation on a fresh Debian Stretch ; - provide some more detailed error logs. Here is how I have just confirmed that mariadb-server can be installed without problems on a fresh Stretch: | $ sudo apt update | $ sudo apt install mariadb-server | [..] | $ sudo dpkg -l | grep mariadb-server | ii mariadb-server 10.1.38-0+deb9u1 all MariaDB database server (metapackage depending on the latest version) | ii mariadb-server-10.1 10.1.38-0+deb9u1 amd64 MariaDB database server binaries | ii mariadb-server-core-10.1 10.1.38-0+deb9u1 amd64 MariaDB database core server files | $ $ sudo systemctl status mariadb | ● mariadb.service - MariaDB 10.1.38 database server | Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) | Active: active (running) since Thu 2019-06-13 12:34:05 CEST; 7min ago | Docs: man:mysqld(8) | https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/systemd/ | Main PID: 1766 (mysqld) | Status: "Taking your SQL requests now..." | CGroup: /system.slice/mariadb.service | └─1766 /usr/sbin/mysqld Faustin
