No, mysql_upgrade updates the table data (schema 'mysql'), that's not a
problem. The server itself works just fine.

But API/ABI in library /usr/lib/libmariadb.so and header files
in /usr/include/mysql/ changed. Lots of programs break because of this.

"CX:;",b;for(a/*    Best regards             my address:    */=0;b=c[a++];)
putchar(b-1/(/*    Chris            cc -ox -xc - && ./x    */b/42*2-3)*42);}
