Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Checking the logs I see the following error: 2020-08-21T06:01:50.456250Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Tried to read 65536 bytes at offset 6760960, but was only able to read 42496 2020-08-21T06:01:50.456277Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Operating system error number 5 in a file operation. 2020-08-21T06:01:50.456299Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Error number 5 means 'Input/output error' 2020-08-21T06:01:50.456316Z 0 [Note] InnoDB: Some operating system error numbers are described at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/operating-system-error-codes.html 2020-08-21T06:01:50.456335Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: File (unknown): 'read' returned OS error 105. Cannot continue operation 2020-08-21T06:01:50.456351Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Cannot continue operation. This is an I/O error and it can be an indication that your filesystem is corrupted. Checking the dmesg logs you can also find a bunch of failures while trying to read some memory spaces, which makes me believe you have an issue with your hard drive. Since this seems to be a hardware problem I am marking this bug as Invalid. If you do not agree please add more information and change the status back to New, and we will revisit this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892460 Title: package mysql-server-5.7 5.7.31-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 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/1892460/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
