    Do you still facing this problem? Could you add output of df, it could be a free space issue

  • Last time I got this kind of issue, this was caused by my Exoscale hosting service, due to probably a replication issue on their server. Support changed me on a new server and then everything ran smoothly again.

I faced the same issue when I upgrade packages in ubuntu 16.04 with sudo apt upgrade.

I solved this by manually stop mysql service.

$ sudo service mysql stop

It take a while for this, but after the service stop, the upgrade process will continue.

    thanks for this idea! service stop took to long for me, so I found the mysql process with "ps aux | grep mysql" and kill -9'ed it and it continued (same idea)..

    Had the same problem with ubuntu 17.10 and mysql 5.7.22, but it was enough to to run sudo kill {id_of_the_process} for those processes.

  • I just now had the same problem with Samba4, during a do-release-upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04. The nmbd stop process was hung; a kill -9 sorted it out and the upgrade immediately continued.

  • ugh. later on, I had to manually kill a Samba 4.3 process during the same upgrade - hung on "screen-cleanup" towards the end of the upgrade. FYI.
