Hi Jun, If you use mysql but have it off/disabled for some reason to get over this on upgrades until this is resolved:
1. enable the service so that it is started correctly 2. then do the update 3. then if you want disable it again. If your service is instead stopped because you really no more use it, but now on upgrades you run into this issue - you might as well consider just removing the package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592669 Title: postinst fails when daemon is not running (or is disabled by policy- rc.d) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1592669/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
