well i looked:

  cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/mariadb.conf
    d /run/mysql 0755 mysql mysql -

clearly not the right stuff.

  ls /etc/tmpfiles.d
    vpnc.conf

no mariadb.conf there
 
i then created /etc/tmpfiles.d/mariadb.conf with:
  d /run/mariadb 0755 mysql mysql -
  d /run/mysqld 0755 mysql mysql -

rebooted, and all is well -- thank you.  however in an
adjacent computer, there is no /etc/tmpfiles.d/mariadb.conf,
but /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/mariadb.conf has the right data,
and mysql is working fine,

i don't understand what happened in the first place to screw
things up on my main computer.  it's all magic.

thank you for your help,
ole dan
