Public bug reported:
Updates of the mysql-server-5.7 package fail to install (error during
postinst) if operating in (super) read-only mode. A read-only replica is
common in redundant/HA setups.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Setup a container (bionic or xenial would do)
$ lxc launch images:ubuntu/bionic sql1
$ lxc shell sql1
# apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends mysql-server
2) Configure read-only mode
# cat << EOF >> /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[mysqld]
super_read_only = ON
read_only = ON
EOF
# service mysql restart
# mysql -e "SELECT @@global.read_only, @@global.super_read_only;"
+--------------------+--------------------------+
| @@global.read_only | @@global.super_read_only |
+--------------------+--------------------------+
| 1 | 1 |
+--------------------+--------------------------+
3) Trigger the postinst code
# apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-5.7
