I've just dup'ed another bug onto this. But I can't see yet how this would happen.
The file is of mysql-common: $ dpkg -S /usr/share/mysql-common/configure-symlinks mysql-common: /usr/share/mysql-common/configure-symlinks
And this is a dependency. Depends: apparmor (>= 2.10), bsdutils, initscripts, lsb-base (>= 4.1+Debian11ubuntu7), mysql-client-5.7 (>= 5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.1), mysql-common (>= 5.6.22-1~), mysql-server-core-5.7 (= 5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.1), passwd, perl (>= 5.6), psmisc, debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, init-system-helpers (>= 1.18~), libc6 (>= 2.14), libevent-core-2.0-5 (>= 2.0.10-stable), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0), libstdc++6 (>= 5.2), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) Pre-Depends: adduser (>= 3.40), debconf, mysql-common (>= 5.5)
I thought that (unless you go through extra steps) they would be unpacked in dependency order and then should be available at the time needed - odd ...
