@maier-m Thanks for providing more information.

It seems your my.cnf points to /etc/alternatives/my.cnf. What does that file point to then? Please post output of 'ls -la /etc/alternatives/my.cnf'

I suspect that the update-alternatives didn't work and your my.cnf does not point to mariadb.cnf.

What it you try issuing the command mentioned in the fallback config file you posted:

  2. Run "update-alternatives --remove my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf.migrated"

What does 'update-alternatives --list my.cnf' show?
