Upgraded mariadb recently from 10.5 to 10.6 (from official repos). Whenever I try to run mariadb-install-db I get the following error:
❯ mariadb-install-db --datadir=/home/xxxxxx/Documentos/.mysql.digikam/db_data
FATAL ERROR: Could not find //share/mysql/fill_help_tables.sql
If you compiled from source, you need to either run 'make install' to
copy the software into the correct location ready for operation.
If you don't want to do a full install, you can use the --srcdir
option to only install the mysql database and privilege tables.
If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top
level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option
pointing to that location.
The latest information about mysql_install_db is available at
[url]https://mariadb.com/kb/en/installing-system-tables-mysql_install_db[/url]The mariadb package contains /usr/share/mysql/fill_help_tables.sql, but somehow the /usr part is missing from the path that mariadb-install-db is reporting in the error. Any ideas why? If I specify the --basedir option (--basedir=/usr), the creation succeeds. However, when another program is trying to call mariadb-install-db (in this case digikam), it doesn't know to add the --basedir argument and the command always fails.
Running mariadb-10.6.3-1

I think it is down to https://github.com/MariaDB/server/commi … d4305e3c11 in mariadb-install-db replacing mysqld with mariadbd when it should have been replaced by mariadb
Is it related to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/71582 ?
Edit:
My mistake mariadbd in the substitution is correct.
Line 363 from the script before the rename
elif test -n "$dirname0" -a -x "$rel_mysqld" -a ! "$rel_mysqld" -ef "./bin/mysqld"Could the last part of the test have been failing because mysqld is a link to mariadbd, after the update the test passes because it is a regular file? Leading to a different set of values being substituted.
