I've had the same problem with just about every MySQL 8.0 upgrade on Ubuntu 20.04, and now again with 8.0.27. I had to kill both MySQL processes in a 2nd terminal screen to make the upgrade process continue in the 1st terminal screen where MySQL's upgrade was started. Simply stopping the MySQL server daemon beforehand is also not enough.
klojum@hp840:~$ ps -A | grep mysql 17286 pts/1 00:00:00 mysql-server-8. 17667 pts/1 00:00:01 mysqld klojum@hp840:~$ klojum@hp840:~$ sudo kill -9 17286 [sudo] password for klojum: klojum@hp840:~$ ps -A | grep mysql 17286 pts/1 00:00:00 mysql-server-8. <defunct> 17667 pts/1 00:00:01 mysqld klojum@hp840:~$ sudo kill -9 17667 klojum@hp840:~$ And then Ubuntu's upgrade process continues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1929314 Title: Unattended-upgrade failed to restart mysql service (due to timeout?)
