Hi Faustin, Thanks for the response but the problem is that mysql and mariadb will not install correctly after upgrading the OS from 18.04 to 20.04. This seems to be an issue with dpkg leaving some old libraries and files hanging around on the file system that cause conflicts when it attempts to install either of these. I have tried manually removing all files related to the databases, but the install still fails in either case. I also found that the php-mysql package will not install due to it not being able to resolve dependencies. So the problem may be related to other old packages that are dependencies of mysql (or mariadb?)
I'm sure this is an edge case as most people probably just reinstall the OS from a downloaded image (which is what I usually do, I just tried the upgrade this time to see how it went!) but there is definitely a problem during the upgrade. I have found numerous other unsolved instances of this, on this bug tracker, so no need to duplicate those any further I guess! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880415 Title: Upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04, mariadb-server installer broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb-10.3/+bug/1880415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
