Public bug reported:
dist-upgrade of my system failed with the following error:
Unpacking mysql-server-5.7 (5.7.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive
/var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.7_5.7.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_amd64.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/mysql_plugin', which is also in package
mysql-client-5.6 5.6.33-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Indeed, in Debian mysql releases the offending file was moved from the client
package to the server package. This looks like a relevant commit:

Move mysql_plugin to server package as it controls the server
plugins

According to the tags in git repo, the change was released in Debian in
5.6.25-1. For some reason Ubuntu packages for 5.6 having a larger version, e.g.
5.6.33-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 from trusty-updates, do not include the change.
The file move does appear only in Ubuntu's 5.7 package but is not
appropriately reflected in its debian/control file, i.e. Breaks: and
Replaces: stanzas do not include mysql-client-5.6, which should be the
case when moving file(s) from package to package.
** Affects: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu)
