Thanks for your time reporting this bug and trying to make Ubuntu better. I see the mysql-server is installed alongside mysql-workbench-community (which is not in the Ubuntu archive and is not supported), this interaction is untested and might pose you some unexpected behavior.
The mysql error log is not helpful because the important lines were removed by apport: --- Line containing protected term grant stripped from log by apport hook. Ref. Launchpad bug #1574458 2024-04-29T13:46:53.607516Z 0 [ERROR] [MY-010119] [Server] Aborting Could you please manually check what that line is telling you and share with us? Of course, without any confidential data. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this bug locally, more info is needed. ** Changed in: mysql-8.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064122 Title: package mysql-server-8.0 8.0.36-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed mysql-server-8.0 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-8.0/+bug/2064122/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
