By "reproducible" we usually mean that someone else can reproduce the issue given the same starting position (usually a fresh install or pristine cloud image) and following exactly the same instructions. It sounds like you're able to reproduce it from a fresh installation. Is this the case? If so, it would help if you could write down the exact steps (with no ambiguity) of exactly what you're doing from a fresh installation to lead to the problem, and exactly what you're doing to confirm that the problem exists. For example, don't say "install mysql", say "type: apt-get install mysql-server-5.7". I do know how to install mysql, but there are many ways of doing things, and I need to know exactly which of those ways you are using for every single step. > If this is not a bug in the operating system, then I have been using the > wrong definition of what a bug in software is for the last 42 years.

Sure - it does sound like a race condition at the moment. But I still need instructions on how to reproduce the problem even if it doesn't occur every time. > [...] > Thank you for your time you have graciously given me. I do appreciate > it.
