Files affected: * d/additions/mysqld-systemd-start Sanity check fails is /var/lib/mysql and /var/lib/mysql/mysql do not exist Maybe not needed since the server error by itself should be sufficient if the configured datadir is missing
* d/additions/apparmor-profile Read/write permissions to datadir. Can probably expect users to change the profile if they want a custom datadir, but document/warn about it somewhere? * d/postinst: Creates datadir, sets ownership and runs initialize if empty. Will need to check config for correct one to prevent it from trying to create and populate /var/lib/mysql even if user wants it somewhere else (upstream scripts have some code to do this). * d/postrm: Data removal on purge. Not all that important 5.7 also creates /var/lib/mysql-files and /var/lib/mysql-keyring, but they aren't as important for installation -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574782 Title: mysql-server-5.7.postinst fails on upgrade if the datadir has been changed from default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1574782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
