This bug was fixed in the package mysql-5.7 - 5.7.11-0ubuntu6 --------------- mysql-5.7 (5.7.11-0ubuntu6) xenial; urgency=medium
[ Lars Tangvald ] * Added patch for exporting my_make_scrambled_password to fix pure-ftpd FTBFS. * Client commands in d/postinst will ignore custom config (LP: #1567695) * Enable changing root password on install if previous db had empty (LP: #1567098) [ Robie Basak ] * d/mysql-server-5.7.postinst: quote "$rootpw" correctly. * d/control: add libnuma-dev and libaio-dev to libmysqld-dev dependencies, since these are required according to "mysql_config --libmysqld-libs". This fixes FTBFS of packages that use libmysqld-dev. -- Robie Basak <robie.ba...@ubuntu.com> Wed, 13 Apr 2016 17:34:08 +0100 ** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1567098 Title: Cannot log in as root user when not root Unix user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1567098/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
