Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
for the required DB updates along a package update it uses the local socket. In the log I've found: 2017-01-22T13:34:46.779325Z 0 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections. Version: '5.7.16-0ubuntu0.16.10.1' socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' port: 3306 (Ubuntu) 2017-01-22T13:34:46.783363Z 2 [Note] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) I wanted to ask if the configuration changed in that regard? I've seen a few similar reports, but in those cases the socket was not reachable at all, while in your case it rejects root as local user - therefore not dup'ping it (yet). Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete. If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New. ** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - package mysql-server-5.7 5.7.16-0ubuntu0.16.10.1 failed to install/upgrade: Paket ist in einem sehr schlechten inkonsistenten Zustand - Sie sollten es erneut installieren, bevor Sie es zu entfernen versuchen. + on-upgrade Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1658478 Title: on-upgrade Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1658478/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
