Updates / yum -y update ///

Did someone have trouble updating MariaDB? The Server component is not updating for me. The "mariadb-server" package remains in version 10.11, while "mariadb-client" has been updated to version 11.

Using Almalinux 8


---------------------------------------------------------

Upgrading directly from MySQL 10.11 to MariaDB 11.0 may not
be safe in all cases.  A manual dump and restore using mysqldump is
recommended.  It is important to review the MariaDB manual's Upgrading
section for version-specific incompatibilities.

A manual upgrade is required.

- Ensure that you have a complete, working backup of your data and my.cnf
  files
- Shut down the MySQL server cleanly
- Remove the existing MySQL packages.  Usually this command will
  list the packages you should remove:
  rpm -qa | grep -i '^mysql-'

  You may choose to use 'rpm --nodeps -ev <package-name>' to remove
  the package which contains the mysqlclient shared library.  The
  library will be reinstalled by the MariaDB-shared package.
- Install the new MariaDB packages supplied by MariaDB Foundation
- Ensure that the MariaDB server is started
- Run the 'mysql_upgrade' program

This is a brief description of the upgrade process.  Important details
can be found in the MariaDB manual, in the Upgrading section.
