Hi Neil, thank you for taking time to report this. Relevant lines are: Setting up mariadb-common (10.0.29-0ubuntu0.16.10.1) ... update-alternatives: error: alternative path /etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf doesn't exist
Could you check the content of your '/etc/mysql' dir? If you could explain the exact steps that lead to this issue, it would permit me to understand better the sequence.
