Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
This is a fair point. But the problem is effectively fixed in the latest release of Ubuntu where only mysql 5.6 is available. I don't expect we'll be doing a release with two versions concurrently again. I also don't think it's appropriate to change the package description the release that is already out. I'll mark this bug Fix Released to represent that it is fixed in the latest release. > metapackage depending on a conservative default version Note that on 14.04 MySQL 5.6 is available in universe only, so for example you won't get security updates with it unless updated packaging is prepared, tested and contributed to the security team. ** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-5.5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1499155 Title: Description of mysql-server package wrong/misleading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/1499155/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
