Issue Plesk Update Issue with Maria DB

[Edi Duluman]

Hello gents! I am running 5 different servers all running Debian 8.11 with Plesk 17.8.11 ), and some began having issues updating themselves.

Two servers successfully upgraded to #20, while two are stuck on #18 and one is stuck at #19, all with the same outcome, as follows:

The apg-get failed with the following message:
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mariadb-server : Depends: mariadb-server-10.0 (>= 10.0.36-0+deb8u1) but 10.0.35-0+deb8u1 is to be installed

I am not sure if I should run apt-get -f install ... manually ... is it a good thing to do ? I'm guessing this fails for a reason.

Please advise

A way to fix this is to specify the exact version of the two packages that you want to install. To do this, first determine the full version numbers of the affected packages. An easy way to do so is with 'apt-cache show':

apt-cache show mysql-common | grep Version
apt-cache show libmysqlclient18 | grep Version

MariaDB - Setting up MariaDB Repositories - MariaDB

MDB will be given a list of versions. The ones in the MariaDB repositories will have "mariadb" in the version strings and are the ones you want. With the version numbers in hand you will be able to install MariaDB by explicitly specifying the version numbers
