    Description

      The text which RPMs return upon attempting to upgrade the server looks weird in any version, but it seems especially strange in 11.x after so much renaming effort has been made.

      A MySQL or MariaDB server package (MariaDB-server-11.0.2-1.el7.centos.x86_64) is installed.

      Upgrading directly from MySQL 11.0 to MariaDB 11.1 may not
      be safe in all cases. A manual dump and restore using mysqldump is
      recommended. It is important to review the MariaDB manual's Upgrading
      section for version-specific incompatibilities.

      A manual upgrade is required.

      • Ensure that you have a complete, working backup of your data and my.cnf
        files
      • Shut down the MySQL server cleanly
      • Remove the existing MySQL packages. Usually this command will
        list the packages you should remove:
        rpm -qa | grep -i '^mysql-'

      You may choose to use 'rpm --nodeps -ev <package-name>' to remove
      the package which contains the mysqlclient shared library. The
      library will be reinstalled by the MariaDB-shared package.

      • Install the new MariaDB packages supplied by MariaDB Foundation
      • Ensure that the MariaDB server is started
      • Run the 'mysql_upgrade' program

      This is a brief description of the upgrade process. Important details
      can be found in the MariaDB manual, in the Upgrading section.
