I tried to "upgrade" MySQL 5.5 to MariaDB by removing MySQL altogether. Then I installed MariaDB 10.1 as follows:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xcbcb082a1bb943db
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://sfo1.mirrors.digitalocean.com/mariadb/repo/10.1/debian jessie main'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server
service apache2 restart
But afterwards, phpMyAdmin did not load, and was returning 404. The app I was using was loading fine, and I was able to connect to the Database via command line. and mysql -V
returned mariadb version.
So I removed phpMyAdmin, and MariaDB as follows:
service mysql stop
apt-get --purge remove "mysql*"
mv /etc/mysql/ /tmp/mysql_configs/
apt-get remove --purge mysql*
apt-get autoremove
apt-get autoclean
apt-get purge phpmyadmin
apt-get autoremove phpmyadmin
service apache2 restart
apt-get update
cleared the mariadb entries in the sources file: /etc/apt/sources.list
Now, each time I try to apt-get install
anything it returns me an error:
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mariadb-server-10.0 : Depends: mariadb-client-10.0 (>= 10.0.22-0+deb8u1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mariadb-server-core-10.0 (>= 10.0.22-0+deb8u1) but it is not going to be installed
PreDepends: mariadb-common but it is not going to be installed
Breaks: mysql-server
mysql-client : Depends: mysql-client-5.5
mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.5 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
This erros is for anything I try to install. And I did try to apt-get -f install
. Any ideas what I messed up and how to fix it?
