This needs actual logs to be actionable. Since it happened years ago, I find it unlikely there will be any.
Marking the bug as incomplete just in case someone still has this happening and can provide further info. ** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unattended-upgrades in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632361 Title: unattended-update installArchives Status in mysql-5.5 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub 3.13.0-98-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-98-generic Generating grub configuration file ...
