Public bug reported: This is fifth same error after daily upgrade. I was overcome to problem as follows:
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server sudo apt-get purge mysql-common sudo rm -rf /var/log/mysql sudo rm -rf /var/log/mysql.* sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql ------------ sudo apt-get install mysql-server --fix-missing --fix-broken But today I cannot purge mysql-common* And for future, We have to find real problem And we have to correct it. Because mysql is important It should run on 7/24.
