[mythtv-users] Surprised by upgrade!

[Gerald Brandt]

I decided to do the 16.04 upgrade today. The winning streak was 
destroyed. Apparently, mysql doesn't like being upgraded from 5.5 to 
5.7, and nothing would run. I reverted back to my 14.04 (thanks 
clonezilla) and all is well. I'll have to upgrade mysql to 5.6 first.
