> I can try, but, shouldn't that be done by the package upgrade automatically?
Packaging maintains any configuration file customisations by (Debian) policy. It would be nice if we could detect and fix up a known set of configuration directives, but this is particularly error-prone because packaging (almost by definition) cannot follow all possible customisations. If you ended up in this situation without customising things, then please provide steps to reproduce and reopen this bug. Otherwise, if you think there's a particular use case of user customisation that packaging should be able to follow and fix, then please provide steps to reproduce and a proposal for exactly what (in technical terms) packaging should have done automatically in a way that doesn't break anyone else, and then reopen this bug. ** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1570673 Title: package mysql-server-5.7 5.7.11-0ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1570673/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
