I did a mysqldump to dump all databases into a .sql file, then installed a mariadb server. There are no errors after the installation. But after restoring the databases, I started to observe the following two errors:
[ERROR] Incorrect definition of table mysql.event: expected column

It looks like something within the mysql.event table got overwritten. I did not create any events, so I wasn't expecting anything to be affected here. What should be done to eliminate this error?
