Details

Description:
"pacman -Rsn mariadb" does not remove all relevant/expected files.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
mariadb-10.1.18-1

* config and/or log files etc.
-

Steps to reproduce:
Install maraidb, go through all recommended steps listed at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MySQL, make some databases. Remove mariadb using "pacman -Rsn mariadb", I would expect this would remove all traces of MariaDB but when I reinstall (pacman -S mariadb) my mariadb root password is unchanged and I find back all my databases. I would expect the package to be cleanly installed.
This task depends upon
