I appreciate the problems you're facing, but unfortunately I can't help you through the bug tracker. Pointers to community support can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community
I suggest continuing to try to get help on ubuntuforums.org and perhaps askubuntu.com for your specific problem. I appreciate that there are a large number of "bug reports" for the MySQL packaging with similar failures. This is due to the packaging not being great at handling misconfiguration and this can definitely be improved. I am working on this in the latest MySQL packaging both in Debian and Ubuntu. There are a number of underlying improvements that can be made but unfortunately the automated crash reports do not usually give me enough information to know which underlying causes to focus on or which bugs for the underlying issues to pool them against. So I can only really mark the bugs as Incomplete or Invalid. In the meantime, I'm marking this issue as Incomplete here on the bug tracker, as without exact steps to independently reproduce the issue this isn't a bug in Ubuntu that a developer can directly fix in its current state. I appreciate that you can reproduce the problem on your system easily enough, but this isn't the same as a developer being able to reproduce the system separately. Since developers use the bug tracker to plan ongoing work, if I don't mark it like this then this merely hampers Ubuntu development efforts by making the bug tracker less useful to developers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1511158 Title: package mysql-server-5.6 5.6.27-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.6/+bug/1511158/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
