Public bug reported: On many occasions previously, this package left apt-get hanging.
I have no ideas why this would occur and was about to try to manually remove mysql from aptitude and from the hard drive. I need it, but I also need to be able to update my machine :) ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: mysql-server-5.7 5.7.13-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-36.55-generic 4.4.16 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-36-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Sep 4 18:25:38 2016 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-09-10 (359 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20150218.1) Logs.var.log.daemon.log: MySQLConf.etc.mysql.conf.d.mysql.cnf: [mysql] MySQLConf.etc.mysql.conf.d.mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf: [mysqld_safe] syslog MySQLConf.etc.mysql.conf.d.mysqldump.cnf: [mysqldump] quick quote-names max_allowed_packet = 16M MySQLConf.etc.mysql.mysql.conf.d.mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf: [mysqld_safe] syslog MySQLVarLibDirListing: ['neo4dev', 'debian-5.7.flag', 'ib_buffer_pool', 'mysql_upgrade_info', 'ibdata1', 'mysql', 'performance_schema', 'auto.cnf', 'ib_logfile1', 'ko64eto_cco', 'ib_logfile0', 'debian-5.5.flag'] ProcCmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-36-generic root=UUID=3ca8b21a-0736-46f7-b9fa-ecec8c1c54fc ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.18.4ubuntu1.1 apt 1.2.12~ubuntu16.04.1 SourcePackage: mysql-5.7 Title: package mysql-server-5.7 5.7.13-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-09-04 (0 days ago) ** Affects: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-package xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620097 Title: This was on all updates, upgrades, and remove attempts. package mysql- server-5.7 5.7.13-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 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/1620097/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
