There is no galera-4 library for sid in deb repo. I'm not even sure why we provide packages for Sid which is unstable by definition, but since we do, there should be the library, too. |

> I'm not even sure why we provide packages for Sid How else are sid users supposed to install mariadb 10.4? Actually, it'd be best if all packages were provided directly through Debian. |

We don't provide packages for other flavors of Linux when they are at alpha/beta stage, and rightly so, as even if we manage to test our packages before release on the latest version of the system (which is a challenge in itself), the system can change arbitrarily any time after, to the point that packages won't even be installable any longer, much less expected to work properly. So yes, I would think they should come from the Debian repo, then at least the packages would remain in sync with changes in the system itself. Otherwise, users of "unstable", who are de-facto voluntary Debian beta-testers, are surely experienced enough to use bintars or build from source. |

The issues that were preventing sid packages of galera 26.4.x have been resolved and packages will be available starting with the upcoming 10.4.4 release. |
