Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. I can only see: MySQLConf.etc.mysql.my.cnf: Error: [Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links: '/etc/mysql/my.cnf' ...which doens't help us much, unfortunately. :(
Since there is not enough information in your report to begin triage or to differentiate between a local configuration problem and a bug in Ubuntu, I am marking this bug as "Incomplete". We would be grateful if you would: provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to "New". Also, if possible, please let us know how we can reproduce this in a fresh container or something? Thanks! Also, for local configuration issues, you can find assistance here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community ** Changed in: mysql-8.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - package mysql-server-8.0 8.0.23-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: new mysql-server-8.0 package pre-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 1 + Error: [Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links: '/etc/mysql/my.cnf' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1932241 Title: Error: [Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links: '/etc/mysql/my.cnf' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-8.0/+bug/1932241/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
