Should I use mysql_upgrade after mysqld_safe when upgrading MariaDB?

Question

I'm wanting to know the best practice to do a MariaDB upgrade on opensuse.

I am getting this error:

mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'SHOW FUNCTION STATUS WHERE Db =
'a_database'': Cannot load from mysql.proc. The table is probably
corrupted (1548)

I'm assuming that an upgrade will fix the error.

So what is the best practice to do that?

Answer 1

When you upgrade versions, run the upgrade script. Often there are new columns in various system tables.
