Hi Mike. > Any advice for future transfers of mysql databases would be appreciated. This is really not a good approach to copy MySQL or MariaDB data (aka /var/lib/mysql) from an OS to another. The transfert of SQL DB between OS needs to be done with an export of your DB and an import on the new OS (logical backup). See https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/backup-and-restore-overview/ and Logical vs Physical backups. ** Changed in: mariadb-10.0 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1590974 Title: package mariadb-common 10.0.25-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb-10.0/+bug/1590974/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Otto, Thanks for the reply. I was finally able to get the 5.7 update to complete. At least no more errors occurred. The problems started during the upgrade from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.04 and MariaDB did not quite install properly. It was probably my fault because I copied the /var/lib/mysql folder from openSUSE Tumbleweed to the Ubuntu 15.10 environment. I somehow got through that hurdle and 16.04 worked and so did the mysql databases. All seemed to work okay until the 5.7 update of MariaDB. I probably still don't have a 'clean' Ubuntu 16.04 environment. Anyway, I used touch to create /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf and reran the update. It almost worked except for the binary update. I renamed /var/lib/mysql-5.7 to mysql-5.7.old and ran the update again. I did apt-get install -f and got no more errors. Then I ran the Software Updater and it said my computer was up to date. I know I probably didn't do this the 'right' way, being that I'm no Ubuntu or Linux expert. I know just enough to be dangerous. Any advice for future transfers of mysql databases would be appreciated. And I'll read up on it in the meantime. Thanks.
