I get the same error when reinstalling in a local Docker environment.
This seems to be triggered by Doctrine when it cannot determine the version of the database server. According to this [discussion](https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineMigrationsBundle/issues/337), this is related to MariaDB servers and can be fixed by specifying the server version in the Doctrine configuration as `mariadb-` instead of ``. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to specify the server version in Mautic. The closest is the `MAUTIC_DB_SERVER_VERSION` constant in /app/AppKernel.php, but I have no idea how to set it persistently.

Environment:
Mautic 5.1.0
Composer 2.7.1
PHP 8.2.7
Apache 2.4.57
MariaDB 10.5.18

The problem specifically in Mautic might be, that the `MAUTIC_DB_SERVER_VERSION` is set to null if /config/local.php exists, probably due to the assumption that Mautic is already installed if that file exists. But in my installation process i use to prefill the local.php with some additional parameters that i cannot hand over to the installation CLI command, like e.g. `api_enabled`.

The error definitely occurs during the Mautic installation, e.g. during
```auto
php bin/console mautic:install
```
and it is triggered regardless of whether a config/local.php exists.
