[Bug 1453435] Re: package mysql-common 5.6.24-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2

[johnnyb0y]

Trying to remove the package results in a pink text box appearing on
screen asking me to confirm the root password for the mysql install?

I tried running 'sudo apt-get update' which tried again to install the
package again failed. A second invocation of the command resulted in the
same asking for confirmation of the root password for mysql - but it
still failed to install.
