Working fine on Amazon Linux with Intel arch but not on ARM. I have followed one of the many guides like this one: https://techviewleo.com/how-to-install-mariadb-server-on-amazon-linux/
So executed:
sudo amazon-linux-extras | grep mariadb
got version 10.5, so continued:
sudo yum -y update
sudo reboot
curl -LsS -O https://downloads.mariadb.com/MariaDB/mariadb_repo_setup
sudo bash mariadb_repo_setup --os-type=rhel --os-version=7 --mariadb-server-version=10.5
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/yum
sudo yum makecache
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y
So far so good, now:
yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client -y
....
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: MariaDB-common conflicts with MariaDB-server-10.5.17-1.el7.centos.aarch64
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
"--skip-broken" argument does not help.
When trying version 10.10:
yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client -y
....
https://dlm.mariadb.com/repo/mariadb-server/10.10/yum/rhel/7/aarch64/rpms/galera-4-26.4.12-1.el7a.aarch64.rpm: [Errno -1] Package does not match intended download. Suggestion: run yum --enablerepo=mariadb-main clean metadata
Trying other mirror.

I've tried all version between 10.5 and 10.10, all failing. EC2 machine deployed right now (t4g.medium). Did not have any problems on intel arch last week with exactly same code. What is wrong ?
Thanks,
Centos7 for non-x86_64 platforms is deprecated. Ref: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/deprecation-policy/
The RHEL7 that feeds Centos 7 ended supported for non-86_64 platforms. While Centos7 still claims to be supported for aarch64, they simply don't get bugs fixes (including bugs affecting the MariaDB development that got noticed and reported to RHEL, that got fixed in RHEL8 only) so for all intensive purposed its not maintained.
As such MariaDB is no longer performing releases for Centos/RHEL 7 on non-x86_64 platforms.
