[Koha] upgrading from MariaDB 10.5 to 10.6 uninstalled Koha on Debian 11 Linux

[Dwight Walker]

Yes, all the Koha data and settings were fine. It just was the Koha koha-common software that was uninstalled during MariaDB upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 so I was able to get Koha back up quickly by installing koha-common using

apt install koha-common
