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

[David]

Removing the /etc/systemd/system/mysql.service allowed me to uninstall,
but I can't reinstall mysql. It asks for password, then is unable to set
it, then installer hangs, and I'm in the same position.
