    Description

      When I try to upgrade my mariadb packages as part of a routine apt-get dist-upgrade or apt full-upgrade, it fails with the following messages:

      dpkg: mariadb-client-10.6: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested: 
      		 
      mariadb-server-10.6 depends on mariadb-client-10.6 (>= 1:10.6.7+maria~bullseye).

      dpkg: error while cleaning up: installed mariadb-server-10.6 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

      This can then be fixed with apt --fix-broken install, but it's a nuisance and causes enough downtime to have to take the server out of production to upgrade.

      # apt-get -y dist-upgrade
      		 
      You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
      		 
      The following packages have unmet dependencies: 
      		 
      mariadb-client-10.6 : Breaks: mariadb-server-10.6 (< 1:10.6.8+maria~bullseye) but 1:10.6.7+maria~bullseye is installed 
      		 
      mariadb-server : Depends: mariadb-server-10.6 (>= 1:10.6.8+maria~bullseye) but 1:10.6.7+maria~bullseye is installed 
      		 
      mariadb-server-core-10.6 : Breaks: mariadb-server-10.6 (< 1:10.6.8+maria~bullseye) but 1:10.6.7+maria~bullseye is installed
      		 
      E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

      I am using mariadb's repository.
