Hi David, > I did see the messages about configuration files but can honestly say, 'it wasn't me guv'.
Fair enough. Unfortunately I can't do anything to try and fix this without steps to reproduce. If you can figure out how to reproduce this, and you think the story demonstrates a bug in Ubuntu, then please elaborate in this bug when you do figure it out and change the bug status back to New, and I can take another look. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-5.6 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1496478 Title: package mysql-server-core-5.6 5.6.25-0ubuntu0.15.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.6/+bug/1496478/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
