Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
I believe this problem comes from the following code in mysql-
server-5.6.preinst:
# if there's a symlink, let's store where it's pointing, because otherwise
# it's going to be lost in some situations
for dir in DATADIR LOGDIR; do
checkdir=`eval echo "$"$dir`
if [ -L "$checkdir" ]; then
mkdir -p "$UPGRADEDIR"
cp -d "$checkdir" "$UPGRADEDIR/$dir.link"
fi
done
It isn't obvious to me why this would fail in this case, however. Please
can you report the output of "stat /var/lib/mysql", "stat /var/lib
/mysql-upgrade", "stat /var/lib/mysql-upgrade/DATADIR.link" and "stat
/var/lib/mysql-upgrade/DATADIR.link/mysql" and then change the bug
status back to New?
** Changed in: mysql-5.6 (Ubuntu)
