Hi, Sorry, this is on us: We've had a fix for this in review for a while, but haven't been able to push it to completion (it's a fairly big change to how the packaging works).
I'm not familiar with the error you're getting with the enable command (doesn't happen on my box. I get the warning but not the error), but a second workaround you can try until we can get this fix into the package is: * Edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.7.postinst and put a simple "exit 0" at the top after #!/bin/bash * Run apt-get -f install This will skip the entire postinst script, which basically has two purposes: a) On a fresh install, setup the default database, root access, etc. b) On an upgrade, start the new server version, run mysql_upgrade, then restart the server a) Shouldn't apply in your case, but it's important you do b) Hopefully this helps -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592669 Title: postinst fails when daemon is not running (or is disabled by policy- rc.d) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1592669/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
