Bug Description

Occurred as part of the upgrade,
briefly saw 'upstart' mentioned in details.

This is of little concern to me;
I am confident I can fix if necessary
though currently I use docker container(s)
for my mysql db needs.

However, may provide useful info to you.

This is in fact a known error being worked on.
The TL;DR is a race on the server being available.
