The file is indeed missing. It should've been in the mysql-server- core-5.6 package, but it's not.
In ruby-mysql2: Add --keep-my-cnf to the mysql_install_db command line. Since the server is started with --no-defaults, it's not going to read the my.cnf file, and mysql_install_db doesn't need to create it. In mysql-server-core-5.6: Add usr/share/mysql/my-default.cnf to the package. mysql_install_db expects to find it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-5.6 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1422391 Title: my-default.cnf missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.6/+bug/1422391/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
