(copying from mythtv-users):
From a cursory review of package contents, the libmariadb3 package is
likely the Debian equivalent of Fedora's mariadb-connector-c. At the
time of writing the current version of mariadb in testing/sid is
1:11.8.8-1.
If you want to try downgrading your Debian mariadb packages (backup
your DBs, just in case), you can grab the 11.8.6-6 binary packages
here:
https://snapshot.debian.org/package/mariadb/1%3A11.8.6-6/#libmariadb3_1:3a:11.8.6-6
