I replaced mySQL 5.7 with MariaDB 10.0 on my Ubuntu 16.04 server. I backed up the databases before installation using mysqldump. During the MariaDB install it said a "flag file" present meant the DBs weren't binary compatible, so I restored the backup post-install. MariaDB doesn't like my privilege tables, so I tried to run mysql_upgrade. This is a log of the output (with full verbosity and system tables only):

root@server:~# mysql_upgrade --force -s -vvv

The --upgrade-system-tables option was used, user tables won't be touched.

Phase 2/6: Fixing views... Skipped
Phase 3/6: Running 'mysql_fix_privilege_tables'
ERROR 1408 (HY000) at line 539: Event Scheduler: An error occurred when initializing system tables. Disabling the Event Scheduler.
FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed

How do I resolve the event scheduler issue so that the process can complete? I had to --skip-grant-tables to get to this point so I'm understandably keen to fix this so I can run the server with proper privileges.

I was unable to resolve this.

I did get to where I wanted to be, though: I started the server with --skip-grant-tables, backed up each database I wanted to keep, then removed the data folder and ran mysql_install_db to create a fresh copy of the system tables. I set permissions up again, and then re-imported the databases. All OK now.
