[Bug 1435080] Re: mysql-server upgrade hangs dpkg --reconfigure (if root password is set?)

[Shevek]

Issue solved by apt-get purge mysql-server-5.6 mysql-server then
reinstall. System now working again.

Not sure, but issue might have been triggered by typing a password into
the "password change" dialogue during upgrade. If so, that password
might have been saved in apt's configuration/templates, so that it kept
failing to run mysql?
