[Bug 1827874] Re: package mysql-server-5.7 5.7.26-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 143

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

The only hint of a problem seems to be this:
/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d: line 578: 10900 Terminated              systemctl $sctl_args "${saction}" "${UNIT}"
invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 143
dpkg: trying script from the new package instead ...
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/prerm: line 13: 10936 Terminated              invoke-rc.d mysql stop
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.7_5.7.26-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 143


Why would the stop action fail, I have no idea. I did an upgrade test from 5.7.11-0ubuntu6 and from 5.7.25-0ubuntu0.16.04.2, and both worked fine.

I'll mark this bug as incomplete for now. If you come across something
like this again, or have reproduction steps that show the problem,
please share and switch the bug status back to "new".
