I've only found two ways to reproduce to far 1. remove the file maliciously $ mv /usr/share/mysql-common/configure-symlinks /usr/share/mysql-common/configure-symlinks.nomore $ apt install --reinstall mysql-server-5.7 2. dpkg --ignore-depends=mysql-common -i mysql-server-5.7_5.7.22-0ubuntu18.04.1_amd64.deb
I think we can agree that neither is meant to work, so I still wonder how it happens in the real world to the bug reporters. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1771630 Title: package mysql-server-5.7 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: installed mysql-server-5.7 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1771630/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
