[Bug 1803697] 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 that was logged:

ERROR: Unable to start MySQL server:
mysqld: Can't read dir of '/etc/mysql/conf.d/' (Errcode: 2 - No such file or directory)

Tthe missing directory /etc/mysql/conf.d/ is part of mysql-common:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/all/mysql-common/filelist

If you don't have that installed, then maybe you purged packages that
you shouldn't (like mysql-common), or ran rm -rf in some mysql directory
in /etc. It's not clear.

I suggest you start from a clean state, as I cannot reproduce that
problem with a fresh bionic container.
