[Bug 1455818] Re: mysql-server-5.6.postrm fails when /usr/share/mysql-common/configure-symlinks doesn't exist

[Daniel]

Guys, I found a way to install Mysql Server 5.6:

Select all mysql server packages on synaptic for install and proceed
with the install.

It will fail to configure Mysql-Server-5.6, so then you have to do the
following:

Open post installation script on /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.6.postinst and comment out line 95:
### /usr/share/mysql-common/configure-symlinks install mysql "$mysql_cfgdir/mysql.cnf" 

then run:
 sudo apt-get install mysql-common

that's it.
