make error about spine HOT 2 CLOSED

You'll need to install MariaDB-shared to get the vanilla .so file (and mariadb client.cnf) files otherwise there is no library stub provided by the Mariadb RPMs - personally I think think this is confusing (as this error report shows) but there you go:

[pre install]

This is a known issue with MariaDB 10.2. Thought it was going to be fixed in 10.2-7, but you will have to wait for MariaDB.org to fix their RPM's.
