I read a lot about the issues here with mysql server and client 5.6 on ubuntu 14.04 and tried all the things but I cannot get it to work.



Following steps I already took



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.6


error from installation



Setting up mysql-common (5.6.25-3+deb.sury.org~trusty+1) ...
update-alternatives: error: alternative path /etc/mysql/my.cnf.fallback doesn't
exist
dpkg: error processing package mysql-common (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
mysql-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Can anyone help here?
thanks a lot

  • yep I already tried this, but this does not work for me either. I found another discussion where it was mentioned that a VM needs more RAM, I also increased it to 2048 but without success nvm I'm now bootstrapped a container with debian then :/

IMPORTANT NOTE



AFTER PURGING AND REMOVING MYSQL. RESTART THE MACHINE.
