installed mysql 5.6.25 from source, getting dpkg error

I followed the instructions here:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/...on-debian.html

to install the latest MySQL 5.6.25 on our Debian 8.1 server. Everything in MySQL works, but I get this error every time I do anything on the command line with apt-get:

Code:

Setting up mysql-community-server (5.6.25-2debian8) ...

2015-07-28 10:00:26 0 [Note] mysqld (mysqld 5.6.25) starting as process 30998 ...

dpkg: error processing package mysql-community-server (--configure):

 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Errors were encountered while processing:

 mysql-community-server

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I don't know how to fix this error. It thinks MySQL is partially installed but everything in it works as far as I can tell. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Code:

sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.org

sudo vi /var/lib/dpkg/status

and remove everything in the section for Package: mysql-community-server

from "Package: mysql-community-server"
to the empty line just above the next "Package: " entry.

That should fix it. Works on Ubu and Mint, so why not Debian?

your apt-get actions should no longer complain.

I changed it from "install of half configured" to "install ok installed". That fixed it. Thank you!!
