Public bug reported: Notice the script that produces the backup relies on pv, socat, sockstat and netcat.openbsd among other packages. These are not dependencies of mariadb-backup, but should be. Without them, this package aborts without any indication as to why.
Also, mariadb-server has a SST backup option among others that depends on mariadb-backup. When this option is enabled mariadb's systemd call just hangs then fails but without indication as to what's missing.
