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

This affects Trusty only since Vivid has 5.6.24, so marking Fix Released and creating a Trusty task.

In Trusty MySQL 5.6 is in universe and is community support only (it was a preview; 5.5 remains in main). Volunteers can contribute an update via https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess
