I don't know what the deal is. I can now start the mysqld with `sudo systemctl start mysql`. However, when I interact with apt, e.g. `sudo apt-get autoremove`, it attempts to complete the mysql configuration step:

Setting up mysql-server-5.7 (5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.2) ...
mysql_upgrade: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) while connecting to the MySQL server
Upgrade process encountered error and will not continue.
mysql_upgrade failed with exit status 11

When looking at syslog, it appears mysql is being shut down before this part of the upgrade.
