how to solve this

When I try: apt-get install mariadb* I get this error (and nothing is installed)

la distribution unstable, que certains paquets n'ont pas encore

mariadb-client-10.0 : Casse: virtual-mysql-client mariadb-client-10.3 : Est en conflit avec: virtual-mysql-client

and more.. I already did apt-get remove mariadb* before. Many thanks

remove with wildcard uses the database of installed packages to determine which versions are in place and need to be removed.

install with wildcard is matching multiple versions of the packages and that likely errors out as it can not determine which package you really want.

Solution: don't use a wildcard -- specify which package version you really want installed. I suspect you should be using:

apt-get install mariadb-client mariadb-server

given the descriptions shown

You might want (wildcard okay here, as the plugins are not versioned in the above listing)

apt-get install mariadb-plugin* dbconfig-mysql
