mariadb-server-core is already the newest version (1:10.11.6-0+deb12u1).
mariadb-server-core set to manually installed.
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mariadb-plugin-provider-bzip2 : Depends: mariadb-server (>= 1:10.11.1-1) but
it is not going to be installed
mariadb-plugin-provider-lz4 : Depends: mariadb-server (>= 1:10.11.1-1) but it
is not going to be installed
mariadb-plugin-provider-lzma : Depends: mariadb-server (>= 1:10.11.1-1) but
it is not going to be installed
mariadb-plugin-provider-lzo : Depends: mariadb-server (>= 1:10.11.1-1) but it
is not going to be installed
mariadb-plugin-provider-snappy : Depends: mariadb-server (>= 1:10.11.1-1) but
it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).

Why do you only want to update "mariadb-server-core - MariaDB database
core server files" and not the full installation?

I did try 'apt --fix-broken install'. When I do that it gives me (in relation to the
package "mariadb-server") the message:
~~

There is a MariaDB/MySQL server running, but we failed in our attempts to stop
it.
Stop it yourself and try again!

I tried to stop mysql. It is not running.

# service mysql stop
Failed to stop mysql.service: Unit mysql.service not loaded.
With "mariadb-server" PKG installed, that should be `systemctl stop
mariadb`.

I can only suggest you to remove, everything that you have "mariadb"
related ("apt-get --autoremove purge mariadb-server") and try again.
Note that "purging" will remove all of your config files.
