Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Hi,
from your log I see:
2017-02-19T14:47:51.800982Z 0 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use
2017-02-19T14:47:51.800985Z 0 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
2017-02-19T14:47:51.800996Z 0 [ERROR] Aborting

And that was right about the time when the install log tried to install.
I've seen in the mysql error log that later on the same day about 4 hours later the server started.

Did you have to resolve a configuration issue?
Usually when I see this issue it is one of:
- second mysql server installed from a 3rd party source blocking the port
- configuration issue that can be resolved by purging/re-installing (if no important config existed before)
- configuration issue that had to be resolved by the admin.

Your logs indicate the latter but also that you might already have achived it.
Might I ask what the latest status on this is?

Also if purge/reinstall of mysql is an option (no custom data/config yet) could you try and let me know that helped?

I am a bit astonished that this bug is unassigned. Please assign it and check the root cause. Thanks in advance
