If you in the dialog "Really migrate to MariaDB?" choose the option "No" it will bail out from dpkg and abort the installation. This is by design - you are not supposed to get MariaDB installed if you choose "No".
This method of aborting has been around in MySQL packaging for a long time. For example if you had MySQL 5.1 installed and then installed MySQL 5.0 you would see a similar screen asking for confirmation and if you selected "No" then the dpkg process would be aborted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1457356 Title: package mariadb-server-5.5 5.5.41-1ubuntu0.14.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb-5.5/+bug/1457356/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
