After installation, I received daily messages with a subject of “Anacron job 'cron.daily on …” – see the details below my signature.

It appears the “root” installation I performed resulted in each of the folders below having 777 permissions

I resolved them with the following commands.
chmod 755 /var/log/mariadb
chmod 755 /var/log/mariadb/columnstore
chmod 755 /var/log/mariadb/columnstore/archive
chmod 755 /var/log/mariadb/columnstore/trace
chmod 755 /var/log/mariadb/columnstore/corefiles

Looks like change was made in the 1.0.5 for non-root fixes that effect root installs
