Comment 1 for bug 1576647

This bug was fixed in the package mysql-5.7 - 5.7.13-0ubuntu1

---------------
mysql-5.7 (5.7.13-0ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Ubuntu merge from Debian VCS 1cdae6c. Remaining changes:
    - Revert "Build with libmecab-dev" since libmecab-dev is in
      universe.
  * Drop changes:
    - mysql-server-5.7: depend on apparmor (>= 2.10) for Trusty upgrade
      path (all upgrade paths go through Xenial; in hindsight this
      should have been a Breaks anyway).
    - Upstreamed to Debian:
      + d/p/allowemptyport.patch: update corresponding test
      + postinst: ignore mysql_upgrade's exit status 2
      + Export my_make_scrambled_password
      + Client commands in postinst should ignore custom config
      + Enable setting password for existing database if it was empty
      + Quote $rootpw correctly
      + Add libnuma-dev, libaio-dev to libmysqld-dev deps
      + d/p/fix-man-page-links.patch: drop (fixed upstream)
      + Add d/NEWS
