Affected me on Ubuntu for Windows. Reproduction steps: - Start on Trusty LTS - Install mysql-server - Log in, create a database, but no tables - Attempt to do an upgrade to Xenial LTS
Attempting to apt-get install mysql-server gives the following logs: Unpacking mysql-server (5.7.20-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) ...
