I've recently run into an issue where Barracuda won't update several packages related to mariadb. I've run barracuda up-stable and barracuda up-stable system, but I'm still receiving the following apticron report:

apticron has detected that some packages need upgrading on:

        server.REDACTED.com
        [ REDACTED ]

The following packages are currently pending an upgrade:

        libmariadbclient18 5.5.33a+maria-1~squeeze
        libmariadbclient-dev 5.5.33a+maria-1~squeeze
        libmariadbd-dev 5.5.33a+maria-1~squeeze
        libmysqlclient18 5.5.33a+maria-1~squeeze
        mariadb-client-5.5 5.5.33a+maria-1~squeeze
        mariadb-client-core-5.5 5.5.33a+maria-1~squeeze
        mariadb-common 5.5.33a+maria-1~squeeze
        mariadb-server-5.5 5.5.33a+maria-1~squeeze
        mariadb-server-core-5.5 5.5.33a+maria-1~squeeze
        mysql-common 5.5.33a+maria-1~squeeze
E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes

You can perform the upgrade by issuing the command:

        barracuda up-stable system

as root on server.REDACTED.com

I think I could fix this with apt-get, but I'm worried that that will just cause larger problems down the road. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you. I'm guessing this issue has come up quite a lot, so I apologize if I'm bringing it up for the hundredth time. I did search first, I swear! I guess I just didn't do a very good job of searching :P.

Thanks again.

This is rather new issue, and since it could affect only those were not fortunate enough to install or upgrade stable or head system between 17 Sep 2013 and 20 Sep 2013, there was nothing we could really do about it, so following manual how-to on the MariaDB site is probably the only good option.
