As I described, all I did was issue "apt install mariadb-server" on a clean, physical 22.04.3 LTS system.
Hi David!
I too am not able to reproduce the issue and from your log I see that you does not seem to be using MariaDB repositories (version 10.6.15) but Ubuntu repositories (version 10.6.12). In the later case, the correct place to report error is Ubuntu launchpad platform (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Launchpad).
So, unless you can give us more context and confirm what your steps are, we will not be able to help you.

Faustin
I was able to properly install MariaDB on an ubuntu 22.04 docker image by running the following steps:
docker run -it ubuntu:22.04 bashThen inside the container:
apt updateapt install mariadb-server --yesCan you provide a set of steps that you took to reproduce this problem? I've also tried the mariadb repositories from here (https://mariadb.org/download/?t=repo-config&d=22.04+%22jammy%22&v=10.6&r_m=xtom_tal) and got the same result.
