I had a similar problem to this. All updates and installs via apt-get were blocked because mysql failed to upgrade, with similar error messages as above. In my case the problem turned out to be due to the fact that I had removed /etc/rc5.d/S03mysql in order to prevent mysql from starting at runtime. Recreating the symlink was the only way I found to allow the update to succeed. IMO the script ought to check if this symlink exists and if not create it temporarily, or better still use a method which does not depend on rc.d. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1658067 Title: on-upgrade 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1658067/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
