MariaDB errors when doing a package update

Virtualmin
3

It seems the problem was related to the one described in: debian - MySql: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' although password is okay - Server Fault

  1. The latest package update was in fact an “upgrade”
  2. If the system cannot login as root it won’t be able to complete the upgrade, so the cause for the problem was in fact the following error: /etc/mysql/debian-start[2802188]: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO)

Look at the link above for how to fix it.

Restarted MariaDB, no more startup errors, will now monitor to make sure it is stable and no more problems pop up.
