 remove with wildcard uses the database of installed packages to
determine which versions are in place and need to be removed.

 install with wildcard is matching multiple versions of the packages and
that likely errors out as it can not determine which package you really
want.

 Solution: don't use a wildcard -- specify which package version you
really want installed. I suspect you should be using:

apt-get install mariadb-client mariadb-server
