Closed this issue · 7 comments

Today's release fails to install on a fresh debian wheezy with following message:
mkdir: cannot create directory `': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.6 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Upgrading a 5.6.23-1~dotdeb.1_all fails, too and leads to an unusable mysql server.

/usr/sbin/mysqld --verbose --help 2>/dev/null | awk '/^datadir\s/ { print $2 }' returns an empty result. Removing the \s leads to the desired string (per default /var/lib/mysql).

I also have the same issue on debian 7.6
cm-rudolph commented
My quick and dirty workaround (just to get my mysql server running again) was to edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.6.postinst after the upgrade failed and to remove the \s from the line posted above. After removal I re-executed apt-get upgrade again.

reinstalled, no errors thrown
thank you!

Works here, too. Thanks.
