I have no error on /var/log/mysql because there is no such directory. It looks like installation was interrupted and log file was not created. But on /var/log/journal/mariadb.service.log I see something like this :
ERROR:systemctl:Unknown operation unset-enviroment.
When I type “apt upgrade” I see that 1 package was not fully installed or removed. Debian tries to install it but gets the error as above. I even try mysql_install_db, but with no success. I’m using an ARMv5 processor, so could this be a problem? How to fix it?
