The problem occurs on Ubuntu where a Spider package is installed on the system
separately from the MariaDB package. MariaDB and Spider upgrades leave the
Spider plugin improperly installed. Spider is present in the mysql.plugin
table but is not present in information_schema.
The problem has been corrected in Spider's installation script. Logic has
been added to check for Spider entries in both information_schema and
mysql.plugin. If Spider is present in mysql.plugin but is not present in
information_schema, then Spider is first removed from mysql.plugin. The
subsequent plugin install of Spider will insert entries in both mysql.plugin
and information_schema.

The error occurs because of how the character set and collation are chosen for
stored procedure parameters that have a character data type. If the character
set and collation are not explicitly stated in the declaration, the server
chooses the database character set and collation in effect at routine creation
time.
To fix the problem, I added explicit character set and collation attributes
for the stored procedure parameters in the install_spider.sql script.
