Package: mysql-server-5.5 Version: 5.5.44-0+deb8u1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? Trying to setup MythTV which requires mysql-server. Tried to install and it failed. This machine is a fresh install of Stretch (testing). If I remember right, been a week since, mariadb was removed so mysql could be installed I have searched but not found this exact issue. When the install is attempted it asks for a root password then fails. from /var/log/mysql/error.log 150826 14:30:29 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 150826 14:30:29 [Warning] Using unique option prefix key_buffer instead of key_buffer_size is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
