Yeah, that flag file is there to guard against downgrades, but causes as many issues as it fixes, so we're working on finding another solution.
My suggestion is to «rm -rf /var/lib/mysql», then run «apt-get -f install» to reconfigure the package. Hopefully that's the only problem and this will fix it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574168 Title: mysql-server-5.7.postinst fails with "Can't create database 'performance_schema'; database exists" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1574168/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
