Hi Simon, Would it help for you to manually trigger "freeze mode"? This was added as a way to stop automatic management of the service in case of some unrecoverable issue with it, without triggering apt errors.
If you create the file /etc/mysql/FROZEN (if you're installing in interactive mode you should get a debconf message about this), it should skip most of the postinst script, so it won't start the service, run mysql_upgrade, etc, but you should get all the unit and config files so you can easily init and start it up yourself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1889472 Title: mysql-server-5.7 postinst fails when in read-only mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1889472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
