Bug Description
This bug blocks installation/
This means if package mytop is installed and mariadb-test is installed, an upgrade completely
breaks MariaDB upgrade so files are partially installed and database will not start.
The quick fix is to issue 'dpkg --purge mytop' at the command line, then go through the
install/upgrade procedure again.
See log below for details.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/mytop', which is also in package mytop 1.6-6
This error is thrown when the mytop package has already been installed.
Suggest adding conflict resolution to MariaDB packaging which tests for the existence of /usr/bin/mytop
and if it exists execute 'dpkg -S /usr/bin/mytop' to determine the package owning /usr/bin/mytop, then
direct the user to manually deinstall this package (dpkg --purge mytop) before proceeding.

Hi David,
Was it different with 5.5.25, or did you install the mytop package when 5.5.25 had already been installed?
