hi Folks,

be careful, when upgrading to Ubuntu19.10
If you're using MySQL5.7 (or lower), don't forget to lock your mysql-
versions in Synaptic.
It happened to me yesterday late in the evening (being half asleep), i
kicked off the upgrade,
and when i read the summary what was installed resp. removed i started
cursing like a sailor, when i read
"mysql5.7 community edition being removed, mysql8 being installed"
it doesn't matter if it's the MySQl from the Dist-Repo, or the one
from the MySQL-Repo.
Not  locked = MySQL5.X removed/replaced with MySQL8

I lucked out, that my Laptop is "just" a dev-machine (with no running
live-DB's on it), so i don't lose anything with removing MySQL8, and
reinstalling MySQL5.X again
but i have another Ubuntu19.04-Machine with a Live MySQL5.7 on
it......
