You need to purge the relevant packages before attempting to reinstall them, since otherwise dpkg will preserve your local "modification" (ie. that you removed the conffiles). If you need help with this, then see http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community for community support options.
If you think there is a bug in packaging, then please provide exact steps to reproduce from a fresh install of Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1569163 Title: Fail on Setting up mysql-server-5.7 after dist-upgrade on 16.04 beta To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1569163/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
