I'm getting rather frustrated because I'm not getting any response from Canonical about this problem.
Here is some additional stuff that I tried. I reverted back to Ubuntu 14.04 and tried to 'just' upgrade mysql to 5.7. I got similar messages about not being able to access /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d (permission denied). So I googled those and came across this bug reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.6/+bug/1455773 This seemed like very much what I was experiencing when upgrading from mysql5.5 to mysql5.7. So I reverted back to 14.04 and ran do-release- upgrade but this time ensured that when asked whether I want to replace /etc/apparmor.d/user.sbin.mysqld I said 'Y'. However I still ended up with the same problem. Clearly there is something else that I haven't found or cottoned on to yet. Please I need URGENT help here.
