Comment 37 for bug 1872541

Hi,

As explained by Robie, Lars and me in the comments above this is not a bug, but an intentional bump in the OpenSSL minimal protocol requirements for secure connections. For this reason I marked the mysql-8.0 task as Invalid.

We understand there are cases where a downgrade may be necessary, for those hopefully rare cases the askubuntu answer linked by Christian Gutierrez or the very similar workaround proposed by Rafael in comment #27 are valid, but the real path forward is upgrade the outdated servers.

I'm leaving the Release Notes task open, as this should definitely be better documented.
