Stuck on this - tried a bunch of things up to purging mysql-server and mysql-server-5.7 packages. Reinstalling proceeded fine until the same blocking message:
Checking if update is needed. This installation of MySQL is already upgraded to 5.7.25, use --force if you still need to run mysql_upgrade At this point the process hangs in the terminal until I stop it manually dpkg -l | grep mysql-server-5.7 shows "iF" for the status flags So now I'm really messed up because the problem blocks the reinstall of mysql-server. Any suggestions as to how to get out of this mess would be really appreciated. -Pp -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817374 Title: mysql-server-5.7 5.7.25 upgrade did not complete properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1817374/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
