It'd be hard to fix postinst files already on the system to properly deal with the removal of /etc/mysql, but presumably going forward it might be possible to make all the inst scripts not assume its existence.
That there may also be similar issues relating to upgrade from mysql-5.7 to mysql-8.0 is unsurprising, but reading comment #5 onward that seems to me like a separate issue that deserves its own bug report. This report would better focus on the original issue caused by the removal of /etc/mysql. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914636 Title: Manually removing /etc/mysql results in install/upgrade failures, with errors like "Can't read dir of '/etc/mysql/conf.d/'" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-8.0/+bug/1914636/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
