Missing direct connection for MariaDB in LO 26.2

Have installed LO 26.2.0.1, then 26.2.0.2 and now 26.2.0.3 on a Linux rpm system. Reset user profile but couldn’t connect to MariaDB with this versions.
.
Reported a bug 170410 – MariaDB direct driver is missing
but only one reaction for the version 26.2 for a Mac appears.
Need somebody, who will test this with Linux systems.
.
Note: No problem to connect to MariaDB on the same system with LO 25.8.4.2, also no problem with 26.8.0.0.alpha0+. Bug only appears on LO 26.2.
