[Bug 1311387] Re: add a small default innodb_buffer_pool_size

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

Unfortunately, we have to ship _some_ default, even if it is not the
most appropriate in all cases. I think it's most appropriate to ship the
default that upstream consider best, and for 5.6 it is 128 MB. This does
mean that sysadmin intervention will be required to make mysql-
server-5.6 work on a t1.micro instance, but I don't see any reasonable
way around this (lowering innodb_buffer_pool_size would harm performance
by default on more common mysql-server-5.6 deployments, AIUI).

Having said that, I just noticed that you got a dpkg install error,
which I don't think should happen. We need to look into failing to start
the daemon more gracefully.

** Summary changed:

- add a small default innodb_buffer_pool_size
+ postinst fails when installing on a low memory system

** Changed in: mysql-5.6 (Ubuntu)
