The mysql-common package provides /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysql.cnf and others. If you have deleted it locally, then this user choice will be preserved. To fix your system, try purging all mysql packages and then reinstalling. Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete. If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New. This relates to Harish's original report. claus and Alex, if you think you have separate issues and that they are bugs present in Ubuntu's packaging of MySQL (rather than local system misconfigurations), then please file separate reports. ** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1567884 Title: package mysql-server-5.7 5.7.11-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1567884/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
