It looks like it has something to do with having no password for the
root user like on my dev box.
I have the same
[ERROR] 1396 Operation ALTER USER failed for 'root'@'localhost'
in my error log and after every try a stale *.tmp file in /var/lib
/mysql-files.
The "ALTER user" command comes from the file
"/var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.7.postinst"
You read in line 368:
"If there is no root password set we enable the auth_socket plugin for the root
user."
This seems fails for some SSL related problems.
I could solve the block with these steps:
1. delete stale tmp files in /var/lib/mysql-files
2. Comment the line 370 which is :
echo "ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH 'auth_socket';" >>
"$initfile"
