Expected behaviour: If MySQL is not running, the script should launch it. I have MySQL server installed but I changed the configuration so that it doesn't run automatically. Whenever there's an upgrade, this fails with an error as shown below. This is a bug in the packaging/scripts of mysql server, not in mysql-server itself.
