[Bug 1428571] Re: Software Update - mysql-apt-config - can't continue

[Marc Guay]

I just ran into this when the software updater prompted me to update
"Auto configuration for MySQL Apt Repo."  Perhaps my unusual setup is
useful information, I've added the mysql5.6 repos
(http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/, etc) manually to the "Other
software" tab of Settings->Software & Updates.

Title:
  Software Update - mysql-apt-config - can't continue

Status in debconf package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Upon running software updater today, it's tried to update mysql-apt-
  config, and running that has popped up a debconf choice screen (see
  attached).

  However selecting any of the options, pressing the "Forward" button
  does absolutely nothing. Can't close the window, can't continue, it's
  just stuck like that.

  I bet if I restart the machine everything will end up in a broken
  state too! :D
