A little update: I could not manage to get a verbose output from APT, only a complaint about update-alternatives not finding /etc/mysql/my.cnf.fallback which I did not think to be relevant.
However, this gave me an idea: from a backup I've restored the /etc/mysql config from a MySQL installed before the MariaDB migration. This solved my problem. Now how and why my /etc/mysql directory became corrupted will - I think - remain a mystery... So the conclusion is: always back up your /etc :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429725 Title: package mariadb-server-10.0 10.0.16-2~exp1~ubuntu1 is uninstallable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb-10.0/+bug/1429725/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
