      Created in Jira due to https://lists.launchpad.net/maria-discuss/msg06221.html

      I'm attempting to upgrade a machine with MariaDB 10.6 from Buster to Bullseye using the official MariaDB repo.

      I was surprised to see that apt wanted to downgrade a few packages:

      $ apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs
      The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
         libmariadb-dev libmariadb-dev-compat libmariadb3 mysql-common
      

      I was confused at first, as the priority of the candidate is higher, and the epoch is unchanged, and the upstream version is unchanged:

      $ apt policy mysql-common
      mysql-common:

      A simulation also reported that apt would 'downgrade' to the same versions:

      $ apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs -s
      Inst libmariadb-dev [1:10.6.7+maria~buster] (1:10.6.7+maria~bullseye
      MariaDB:ams2.mirrors.digitalocean.com [amd64]) []
      Inst libmariadb-dev-compat [1:10.6.7+maria~buster]
      (1:10.6.7+maria~bullseye MariaDB:ams2.mirrors.digitalocean.com [amd64])
      []
      Inst libmariadb3 [1:10.6.7+maria~buster] (1:10.6.7+maria~bullseye
      MariaDB:ams2.mirrors.digitalocean.com [amd64])
      Inst mysql-common [1:10.6.7+maria~buster] (1:10.6.7+maria~bullseye
      MariaDB:ams2.mirrors.digitalocean.com [all])
      

      Some folks on IRC pointed me to the fact that the Debian revision has been updated from `maria~buster` to `maria~bullseye`. The documentation at https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#special-version-conventions says:

      The lexical comparison is a comparison of ASCII values modified so that all the letters sort earlier than all the non-letters and so that a tilde sorts before anything, even the end of a part.

      'bul' comes before 'bus', so the package for Bullseye is perceived as older, despite it being the same effective upstream version...

      According to https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#special-version-conventions, the Debian revision should NOT contain the Debian release codename. This problem will re-appear with Bookworm.
