I got the problem in /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld, line 329:

    # Check if the system database should be updated and alert the user.
    NEW_VER="`$libexecdir/mysqld --version | awk '{ print $3}'`"
    OLD_VER="`cat $datadir/mysql_upgrade_info`"

    get_mysql_id() {
    MAJOR="`echo $1|cut -d. -f1`"; MINOR="`echo $1|cut -d. -f2`"; PATCH="`echo $1|cut -d. -f3`"
    expr 10000 \* ${MAJOR} + 100 \* ${MINOR} + ${PATCH}
    }

Original MySQL gives (tested on CentOS):

nada:~> /usr/libexec/mysqld --version
/usr/libexec/mysqld  Ver 5.1.52 for unknown-linux-gnu on x86_64 (Source distribution)
nada:~> /usr/libexec/mysqld --version | awk '{ print $3}'
5.1.52

MariaDB:

werewolf:~# /usr/sbin/mysqld --version
/usr/sbin/mysqld  Ver 5.5.15-MariaDB for Linux on x86_64 (Mageia - MariaDB Community Edition (GPL))
werewolf:~# /usr/sbin/mysqld --version | awk '{ print $3}'
5.5.15-MariaDB
werewolf:~# /usr/sbin/mysqld --version | awk '{ print $3}' | cut -d. -f3
15-MariaDB

See the -MariaDB tail in version ? This makes expr fail because PATCH is
not a number.

Quick Hack: change awk to:

/usr/sbin/mysqld --version | cut -d' ' -f4 | cut -d- -f 1

Works both in MySQL and MariaDB.
