I ran into a problem upgrading mysql-server-5.7 and the issue was I had at some point disabled mysql by default with "sudo systemctl disable mysql.service". I have it installed so I can run it when I need it. To get the upgrade to work I had to:
sudo systemctl enable mysql.service sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.7 sudo systemctl disable mysql.service This worked for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574168 Title: mysql-server-5.7.postinst fails with "Can't create database 'performance_schema'; database exists" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1574168/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
