We are currently upgrading all our systems from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 (do-release-upgrade). After the upgrade completed we found, that MariaDB CLI client (mariadb) does not work any more.
MariaDB client was installed from: mariadb-11.4.3-linux-systemd-x86_64.tar.gz

1. mariadb -uroot
   mariadb: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

1. type mariadb
   mariadb is hashed (/home/mysql/product/mariadb-11.4/bin/mariadb)

   libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x000073e27ea9f000)

Ubuntu 24.04 seems to NOT support libcures.so.5 any more. So IMHO needs a fix.

Workaround:
