My mysql instance was failing to start in my VM instance (Ubuntu 15.04). So I uninstalled mysql-server then removed /var/lib/mysql /var/log/mysql /etc/mysql.
I had hoped that a clean re-install would fix the startup problem, but now I have another problem due to this bug. I see the same error messages that are reported above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1431345 Title: package mysql-common 5.6.23-1~exp1~ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.6/+bug/1431345/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
