    Description

      While attempting to upgrade an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server from MariaDB 10.3 to MariaDB 10.4 I ran into an issue where the Debian installation script failed with an error.

      We use https://github.com/prometheus/mysqld_exporter to export Prometheus style metrics from MariaDB. See the Docker hub page for example of how to run it:

      Example `ps auxwf` output:

      # ps auxw|grep mysql
      root      16873  2.3  0.0  14336  6984 ?        Ssl  13:21   0:00 /bin/mysqld_exporter
      root      17035  0.0  0.0  14428  1016 pts/2    S+   13:21   0:00 grep --color=auto mysql
      

      Example `docker ps` output:

      # docker ps 
      CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                                      COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS                             PORTS                      NAMES

      I could workaround this issue by temporarily stopping Docker and getting rid of the `/bin/mysqld_exporter` process.

      I would like you guys to improve the detection of running `mysqld` processes to prevent the installation script from failing if `/bin/mysqld_exporter` is running.
