These #2084336, #2086597, #2089919, #2097882 are potentially the same issue, but none of the reporters followed up with any additional information about what was the state of their system, how did they eventually stop the service etc. Without that information nothing can be done.
The best information would be steps on how to reproduce the issue so I can debug an example myself and use the reproduction steps to validate any potential fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2086597 Title: package mariadb-server (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: new mariadb-server package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb/+bug/2086597/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
