If server of a version X (e.g. 5.5.29) is already installed, an attempt to install server version X+1 (5.5.30 in this case) does not fail, but does not work either:

A workaround is to run apt-get install mariadb-server-5.5
As Daniel found out, the issue is with the mariadb-server deb package, it has "Depends: mariadb-server-5.5" but there's no version, so any version of the mariadb-server-5.5 package is satisfying the dependency (in our case, version 5.5.29).

Bug
Major
There is a whole section about this bug on the KB at the "Installing MariaDB .deb Files" page : https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/documentation/getting-started/binary-packages/installing-mariadb-deb-files/#upgrading-mariadb-server-and-mariadb-client-packages
Just to be 100% sure, is it ok to remove the section of the doc as the bug is closed and it shouldnt happen anymore?
