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
Public bug reported:
System updater error.
