Upgrade MySQL server issue [duplicate]
That happened to me but it was that, after doing a sudo apt-get update
it somehow did not get the newest version of the mysql-server
, only of the mysql-server-core
. I would first suggest to do another sudo apt-get update
and then proceed on installing the package
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
If that does not work then do a reinstall:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server
And if that does not work, then simply purge
the package mysql-server-core
package, then install mysql-server
again.
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-core mysql-server-core-5.5
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
And if that does not work then go crazy on it with:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server*
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
As a last resort, I would purge, reboot, install.
