Failing to backup MariaDB ALL

[Gerben-W]

Summary

Since version 4.1.20 I'm unable to create Mariadb Backups.
Within my config I have setup multiple databases to backup and only the MariaDB is not working.

Steps to reproduce

Running backup02-now

What is the expected correct behavior?

Creating backups of all MariaDB databases

Possible fixes

[Xiakit]

I think adding -e 'DB02_MYSQL_EVENTS'='FALSE' should solve that error.

[Gerben-W]

I tried to run the with the additional environment 'DB02_MYSQL_EVENTS'='FALSE'.
Unfortunate this did not resolve the issue that the MariaDB databases are no longer being backuped.

It only seems to replaces the:
mariadb-dump: Couldn't execute 'show events': Cannot proceed, because event scheduler is disabled (1577) error
with:
mariadb-dump: Couldn't execute 'SHOW FUNCTION STATUS WHERE Db = 'AVDTEST'': Cannot load from mysql.proc. The table is probably corrupted (1728)
