Hi Mr. Paliulis,

Thank you for your bug report.

However, we can not repeat it. We have done many upgrades from 5.7 to 8.0 without any problems.

We can easily conclude that it seems that you have started two upgrades in parallel. This can not work and will not work.

It is possible that you have corrupted your datadir, so you might revert to a completely new datadir and restore your data from the backup.

Please follow strictly our instructions in the Reference Manual.

Can't repeat.
