Description:
Two plugins that according to the MySQL docs are now native to 5.7.17 are never installed using the apt package manager.
They are:
connection_control.so
group_replication.so
The plugins are present if say one downloads the generic package offered directly from MySQL mysql-5.7.17-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz
Environment:
rmasse@db2:/var/log/mysql$ lsb_release -rd
