            Can apply to upgrades from MySQL <= 5.7 too.

            Some postinst script that detects config settings that write to /home and others (includes MDEV-10399)

            • datadir=/home/* -> and disabled ProtectHome

            and drop like adding an extra file like:

            https://mariadb.com/kb/en/systemd/#configuring-access-to-home-directories

            Consider ProtectSystem directories, probably with a warning.

            MDEV-25177 improves the error message to hopefully be able to determine the cause a bit better.
