manually updated mariadb; installfog.sh fails to see it

[altitudehack]

My MariaDB was on 5.5 on a CentOS 7 fully-updated server and I wanted a newer version, so I removed it:

Packages Altered:
    Erase mariadb-server-1:5.5.68-1.el7.x86_64 @base

I installed the MariaDB repository from:
https://downloads.mariadb.com/MariaDB/mariadb_repo_setup

Packages Altered:
    Obsoleting  MariaDB-client-10.5.9-1.el7.centos.x86_64  @mariadb-main
    Dep-Install MariaDB-common-10.5.9-1.el7.centos.x86_64  @mariadb-main
    Obsoleting  MariaDB-compat-10.5.9-1.el7.centos.x86_64  @mariadb-main
    Install     MariaDB-server-10.5.9-1.el7.centos.x86_64  @mariadb-main
    Dep-Install boost-program-options-1.53.0-28.el7.x86_64 @base
    Dep-Install galera-4-26.4.7-1.el7.centos.x86_64        @mariadb-main
    Obsoleted   mariadb-1:5.5.68-1.el7.x86_64              @base
    Obsoleted   mariadb-libs-1:5.5.68-1.el7.x86_64         @base
    Dep-Install pcre2-10.23-2.el7.x86_64                   @base
    Dep-Install socat-1.7.3.2-2.el7.x86_64                 @base

and verified the database is operational:

# mysql -uroot -p

I did a new get pull for the latest dev branch of fogproject but the installer does not recognize my MariaDB installation:

 * Checking package: make......................................OK
 * Checking package: mariadb...................................Failed!

!! The installer was not able to run all the way to the end as   !!
!! something has caused it to fail. The following few lines are  !!

make-3.82-24.el7.x86_64                  
package mariadb is not installed         

Also upgraded the database:

# mysql_upgrade -uroot -p
Enter password: 
This installation of MariaDB is already upgraded to 10.5.9-MariaDB, use --force if you still need to run mysql_upgrade

more details:

# mysql -V
mysql  Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.5.9-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1

# rpm -qa | grep -i maria
MariaDB-client-10.5.9-1.el7.centos.x86_64
php-williamdes-mariadb-mysql-kbs-1.2.12-1.el7.remi.noarch
MariaDB-common-10.5.9-1.el7.centos.x86_64
MariaDB-server-10.5.9-1.el7.centos.x86_64
MariaDB-compat-10.5.9-1.el7.centos.x86_64

So I guess my question is, how does installfog.sh verify whether or not MariaDB is available?

@Sebastian-Roth as requested:

[Cent-7:root@fog bin]# grep packages /opt/fog/.fogsettings
packages='bc curl gcc gcc-c++ genisoimage gzip httpd lftp m4 make mariadb mariadb-server mod_ssl mtools net-tools nfs-utils php php-bcmath php-cli php-common php-fpm php-gd php-ldap php-mbstring php-mysqlnd php-process syslinux tar tftp-server unzip vsftpd wget xinetd xz-devel'

Also:

[Cent-7:root@fog bin]# yum install mariadb
...
Package 1:mariadb-5.5.68-1.el7.x86_64 is obsoleted by MariaDB-client-10.5.9-1.el7.centos.x86_64 which is already installed
Nothing to do
[Cent-7:root@fog bin]# yum install mariadb-server
...
Package 1:mariadb-server-5.5.68-1.el7.x86_64 is obsoleted by MariaDB-server-10.5.9-1.el7.centos.x86_64 which is already installed

Thank you!

@altitudehack Thanks again for reporting this issue. Please pull the the latest dev-branch (1.5.9.67 as of now), re-run the installer and it should be fixed.

[altitudehack]

Yes, that solved it. Thanks for the quick work, @Sebastian-Roth!
How do I mark a topic as Solved? Or is that a moderator-only task?
