additional information

when package is install as root with root user permissions, the error occurs when i run post-install and postConfigure as root
but when I change the owner of the /usr/local/mariadb to buildbot. then run post-install and postConfigure as buildbot user, it works...

down to the problem with this centos.. for some reason, this file cant get created by the mysqld user during setup..

fixed, problem was the umask setting in the /data/buildbot/bb-worker/buildbot.tac file on master and workers.

changed from 0000 to 0022

Switched the fixed version to N/A as this doesn't affect a specific version and probably shouldn't be in the release notes
