Public bug reported: I just did a double Ubuntu upgraded 14.04->14.10->15.04, which sent me from mysql server 5.5.43 to 5.6.24.
Now if I run "service mysql start" it hangs and the mysql log shows 150516 09:47:00 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/ mysql /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't read dir of '/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/' (Errcode: 13 - Pe rmission denied) Fatal error in defaults handling.
