Noted in 5.7.8, 5.8.0 changelogs. When the directory specified for the secure_file_priv system variable did not exist, the server produced a ""Failed to normalize the argument" error message. It now produces a message indicating that the directory did not exist. The same problem occurred for the --datadir option to mysql_ssl_rsa_setup and was fixed the same way.
