Hi,

I run Kubuntu 18.04.

On this was MySQL 5.7.

After the one or the other update the package
mysql-common
has become version 5.8 +1.0.4

The rest like mysql-server and mysql-client are still 5.7.27

Making mysql as a whole dysfunktional.

There are some databases that I would like to keep.
So a new install of mysql is not the desired option.

What is the best way to repair this, anyone an idea?

[edit]
I just restarted mysql with "service mysql restart" and checked with "service mysql status" and the server is running.
I could even start workbench, before workbench crashed with a dependency-problem. This is strange.


regards,
Jan

So all is good now?
Please mark your thread SOLVED.

No this is not OK.

I am trying to figure out how it is possible that packages of 2 mysql versions mix up.

My question is how to get a consistent system again, the way to restart through the console is nice,
but i would like to know if any of us have the same problem, or solved it.

Regards,
Jan

OK.please, where package_name is each of the packages affected.

Hi,

on my 18.04 Kubuntu Laptop

with apt-cache policy mysql-common
I get 5.8
with apt-cache policy mysql-server
I get 5.7


On my 16.04 Kubuntu both have 5.7.
I do not have problems on the 16.04 machine.


Since downgrading (mysql-common) is not an option (loss of databases)
an update to 5.8 for server and client could be a solution but how, when common already says it is 5.8?

See my problem?

you have to show us the complete output, including the command itself.
Please use CODE tags for that.
While you're at it, also
please.

Thanks for the reply.

I will send the output tomorrow.

My PC's are updated every few days, but I will run apt update.

that command only updates the list of available software, and not your system.
but it also shows important info about the state of apt on your system.
