Think there is a misunderstanding of how libreoffice base
works. It isn't a full database, but has options to link to
various databases. Only tired it a few times and its been a
while. I was using mariadb that was already running on
my machine.
On my Fedora 34 machine, it has the base under the
office link in XFCE menu.
It comes up with option to use HSQLDB Embedded. Don't
have mariadb running on this notebook.
libreoffice --base does the same thing from command line.
Wish I had used it recently, but have had it work.
Forget all the details.
Have 7.2 and 7.3 also installed, and they give same
results
libreoffice7.2 --base
libreoffice7.3 --base
