Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. In an effort to keep an up-to-date and valid list of bugs to work on, I have reviewed this report to verify it still requires effort and occurs on an Ubuntu release in standard support, and it does not.
The Xenial release has entered Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) in April, 2021. Since this bug does not qualify as a security issue, we are unable to proceed with the support. It is unfortunate that we were unable to resolve this defect, however there appears to be no further action possible at this time. I am therefore moving the bug to 'Incomplete'. If you disagree or have new information, we would be grateful if you could please add a comment stating why and then change the status of the bug to 'New'. ** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1933450 Title: package mysql-server-5.7 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-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/1933450/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
