Guys, I found a way to install Mysql Server 5.6: Select all mysql server packages on synaptic for install and proceed with the install.
It will fail to configure Mysql-Server-5.6, so then you have to do the following: Open post installation script on /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.6.postinst and comment out line 95: ### /usr/share/mysql-common/configure-symlinks install mysql "$mysql_cfgdir/mysql.cnf" then run: sudo apt-get install mysql-common that's it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1455818 Title: mysql-server-5.6.postrm fails when /usr/share/mysql-common/configure- symlinks doesn't exist To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.6/+bug/1455818/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
