I just wanted to make sure that I add that the release-upgrade did a dpkg --configure -a succesfully. However, dpkg says mysql-server-5.7 was already installed.

The same is happening on my system.

I used strace to see errors in the installation, and i saw this line in /tmp/trace

open("/var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.7.triggers", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Can this be the culprit?

I finally got it to install by removing any previous configuration files that I had altered. Back them up first if you are nervous

cd /etc/mysql
sudo cp my.cnf my.cnf.april16
Sudo rm /etc/mysql/my.cnf

that may be enough to get it running. I also removed a the mysqld.cnf file under /etc/mysqld/mysqld.cnf

After that,, when I ran
sudo dpkg --configure -a
It noticed the config files missing, reinstalled, and everything works now.

Hi !
I had the same issue and fixed it almost like Rick except I had to remove all the possible my.cnf "alternatives".
Before that I purged mysql-server-5.7.
Then I was able to reinstall it. I checked again all my databases and everything was OK.

sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.7
cd /etc/mysql
sudo rm my.cnf my.cnf.fallback my.cnf.migrated my.cnf.wba.bak /etc/alternatives/my.cnf
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo mysqlcheck --all-databases -p

I think I could just have reconfigured all (sudo dpkg --configure -a) instead of purging sql-server-5.7 but after multiple trial and errors I thought it was safer.

what Christophe Agathon (christophe-agathon) says works for me, at first I still get a dependancy error of some sort but somehow the mysqlcheck straightens it all out or something. well, the result is it works after doing that.

just doing sudo dpkg --configure -a does not work for me, I needed to purge it and also delete the cnf files.

FIRST: I think this should be the primary bug (not duplicate of #1574168 or #1574204 ) and because it has the most useful information in it. Someone should fix this.

----------------------------------

SECOND:

Searching the web I found, that in the XENIAL RELEASE NOTES the problem is already addressed and links to bug #1571865 :

* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes#MySQL_5.7

So this bug should also be marked as DUPLICATE of bug #1571865 !

----------------------------------

THIRD:

So this bug should be considered of HIGH IMPORTANCE.

----------------------------------

For me, I could get this going on one of my computers moving /etc/mysql/my.cnf out of the way and running "apt-get -f install".

On another system this did NOT work. I did an Update from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04. I simply cannot get mysql-server.5.7 package getting installed and the server to be run.

I tried the solutions mentioned in bug #1571865 and the article in askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/760724/16-04-upgrade-broke-mysql-server. Nothing of the worked to get - even purging everything out of the way.

I ran into a problem upgrading mysql-server-5.7 and the issue was I had at some point disabled mysql by default with "sudo systemctl disable mysql.service". I have it installed so I can run it when I need it. To get the upgrade to work I had to:

sudo systemctl enable mysql.service
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.7
sudo systemctl disable mysql.service

This worked for me.

Thanks. But did not work. I tried this before (really tried everything I could imagine).

.... whereas the list of duplicate bugs in bug #1571865 rises and rises ;-( But I am shure guys at ubuntu will fix this.

Serious admins would not update critical systems for now. Mine is only the entertainment server and I can live a few days without mythtv ;-)

Well, looks like I managed to install it by removing both mysql AND mariadb.
For some reason, whenever I removed mysql-client it was installing mariadb-client and viceversa, anyway I succeeded this way:

sudo apt purge mariadb-client-10.0 mariadb-common mysql-client mysql-client-5.7 mysql-client-core-5.7 mysql-common dbconfig-mysql

This command also installed "dbconfig-no-thanks", which could have helped in bypassing the issue

after that

sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server

Worked!

Also receiving this error. A ton of errors really. It also failed to update several MySQL tables in information_schema and performance_schema and many other things. Over a series of hours I got MySQL to work by running mysql_upgrade and doing several other things, some of which are linked to below, sorry I did not create exact steps:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31967527/table-performance-schema-session-variables-doesnt-exist

Finally I noticed this:
Setting up mysql-server-5.7 (5.7.12-0ubuntu1.1) ...
mysql_upgrade: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES) while connecting to the MySQL server

SOLUTION:
CREATE USER 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '***';GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '***' REQUIRE NONE WITH GRANT OPTION MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0;

Then: sudo apt-get upgrade

Anyways good luck folks, this took me several hours to move through this hell. I believe something messed up with the install, the debian-sys-maint user was not created, so system could not update MySQL schema which probably lead to a whole host of other errors. Be sure to check your logs so you can resolve this quicker than it took me.

After this I could install database by :

Hi abhijit,
if all the mentioned fixes for the local configuration don't help you you might be affected by a similar but different issue. In that case to try to help I'd ask you to report a new bug.
Using apport will upload your logs so one can check if things are different in your case.
See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for more.

Please mention this bug in your report so the one checking your uploaded logs can compare and easily finds this one to close as dup in case the bug is really the same - although in that case the foxes should apply as well.

Why did you undupe this bug?

The original reporter's problem clearly states in its log message "mysql_upgrade: [ERROR] 1007: Can't create database 'performance_schema'; database exists". The cause of the reporter's problem was bug 1574168, so I am re-marking this as a duplicate.

If you have a problem with your installation, ask yourself whether you saw this particular error message. If you did, you should refer to bug 1574168. If you did not, then you have a separate problem unrelated to this bug. It may share some of the same symptoms, but it is a separate problem and it is confusing and unproductive to treat it as the same root issue as in this bug.

I understand that sometimes different root causes result in the same symptoms; however in this case, we believe we understand the problem in bug 1574168 and I'm reasonably confident that it has the same root cause.
