After updating MariaDB from 10.4.18 to 10.5.9, I was unable to restart the mariadb systemd service because the actual unit files (existing in 10.4.18) /lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service and /lib/systemd/system/mariadb@.service were replaced as symlinks to mysqld.service and mysqld@.service, respectively (installed by the dev-db/mysql-init-scripts package). However, the mysqld.service includes "Conflicts=mariadb.service" in the "Unit" section, so the MariaDB service won't start on a Gentoo systemd installation.

However, mysqld.service conflicts with mariadb.service [Bug 775515]. The new patch set will restore <10.5 state.
