Package: mysql-server-5.6 Version: 5.6.25-4 Followup-For: Bug #792354 Dear Maintainer,
Just updated my system and mysqld failed to start and therefore failed to configure after installation. The error message I got was: Starting MySQL database server: mysqld-su: 12: .: Can't open /usr/share/modules/init/sh After a bit of internet search I found that this folder is provided by environment-modules So nstalled that package and mysql started - and configured ok... Looks like there is a dependency on that package, but is not mentioned in mysql-server-5.6. * What led up to the situation? Update mysqlserver to 5.6 (not sure what version I had before) * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? effective was installing environment-modules * What was the outcome of this action? mysql-server-5.6 got started and configured -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages mysql-server-5.6 depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.57 ii init-system-helpers 1.23 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-59.2 ii libaio1 0.3.110-1 ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libdbi-perl 1.633-1 ii libgcc1 1:5.2.1-17 ii libstdc++6 5.2.1-17 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-25 ii lsb-base 9.20150826 ii mysql-client-5.6 5.6.25-4 ii mysql-common 5.6.25-4 ii mysql-server-core-5.6 5.6.25-4 ii passwd 1:4.2-3 ii perl 5.20.2-6 ii psmisc 22.21-2.1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages mysql-server-5.6 recommends: ii libhtml-template-perl 2.95-2 Versions of packages mysql-server-5.6 suggests: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20150408cvs-1 ii tinyca 0.7.5-5 -- Configuration Files: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid/mysql-server-5_6 [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid/mysql-server-5_6' /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/mysql-server-5_6 [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/mysql-server-5_6' /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation/mysql-server-5_6 [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation/mysql-server-5_6' -- debconf information: mysql-server/error_setting_password: mysql-server/no_upgrade_when_using_ndb: mysql-server/password_mismatch: mysql-server-5.6/really_downgrade: false mysql-server-5.6/nis_warning: mysql-server-5.6/start_on_boot: true mysql-server-5.6/postrm_remove_databases: false
