Hi Omer, Nice to know your feedback on our APT repo packages. Unfortunately, you have been hit by an unsupported case where we do not provide both debian-sys-maint user debian.cnf file through our packages. They are provided only by the native repo packages. I think 5.6.19->5.6.20 upgrade you did was from native packages to our packages and thus the account and file were kept intact for you to avoid trouble. When you performed a fresh installation our packages did not create either of them. You noticed the user account possibly due to reuse of same data dir that was created by the native repo packages (5.6.19). While you attempted a purge on native packages, the files under /etc/mysql were removed as expected and were not to be found after you did fresh install of 5.6.20. In case, you are planning to get the latest version from us then you need not purge or remove the existing native repo package. Our packages will seamlessly upgrade and also keep the config file and user intact for you. You may have already experienced the same while upgrading from 5.6.19 to 5.6.20. I would also advice not to purge any of the mysql packages as it may result in data loss. Let me know if you still have any doubts. Regards, Akhil
