Live/overlayfs apparmor DENIED open "upper/etc/mysql/conf.d" mysql-server-5.7 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[azmat mehmood]

This occurs when installing on an overlayfs, typically in the installer Try ... live environment when apparmor denies a read of the mysql configuration:

audit: type=1400 audit(1542755429.021:244): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" info="Failed name lookup - disconnected path" error=-13 profile="/usr/sbin/mysqld" name="upper/etc/mysql/conf.d" pid=7525 comm="mysqld" requested_mask="r"

this causes

/usr/share/mysql/mysql-systemd-start

to fail and return exit code 1 when called during the POSTINST phase of package configuration.

I was installing mysql-server but error came.

I have zero knowledge about linux and ubuntu

Thanks for this bug report. This is in my opinion more a casper (= live system) issue than an issue with the specific package providing the AppArmor profile, so I added a casper task.
