[Bug 1453435] [NEW] package mysql-common 5.6.24-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2

[johnnyb0y]

Public bug reported:

Tried removing / purging all mysql-related packages due to earlier
problems  with installation. Moved contents of /etc/mysql to
/etc/mysql_old and attempted install of mysql-server again and I
received the installation error that I've just submitted.
