macOS 15.4.1, digiKam 8.6.0 arm64 (Build Date: 14.03.25 17:54, official binary from digikam.org)
Trying to upgrade my sqLite to mysql internal, also after fresh install of digiKam mentioned error:

`FATAL ERROR: Could not find /Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app/Contents//lib/mariadb//lib/mariadb-10.11/bin/mariadbd`


After reading this thread i tried this and it worked for me.

`cd /Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app/Contents/lib/mariadb`
`sudo ln -s ../mariadb mariadb-10.11`


(Not sure wether giving digikam full disk access is needed but i did in the first place.)

It would be great for upgrades having this issue fixed.

Best wishes
