[Bug 1806491] Re: package mysql-server-5.7 5.7.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed mysql-server-5.7 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

This is the error reported in the logs:
ERROR: Unable to start MySQL server:
mysqld: [ERROR] Found option without preceding group in config file /etc/mysql/my.cnf at line 23!
mysqld: [ERROR] Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted!

All config options need to be inside (after) a group definition, that
starts like "[somename]" and then the option.

The mysql config is built pulling together other files via the include
directives. Could you please check your configuration files for such a
scenario as outlined above?

** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
