@Roger I can't reproduce this. I tried:
lxc launch ubuntu:trusty mysql-upgrade Then inside the container: apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade apt-get -y install mysql-server # this installed 5.5 do-release-upgrade -d After the upgrade, mysqld 5.7 is running. Roger, are you sure you have the same issue as the reporter? If upgrading breaks from a clean install, then I think that's a serious bug, so I'd appreciate if you could figure out what you're doing differently from me so that we can fix this. -- 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
