This bug was fixed in the package mysql-5.7 - 5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.2

---------------
mysql-5.7 (5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.2) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Add libjson-perl dependency for test suite (LP: #1631338)
    The last two python tests in the mtr suite were rewritten
    in perl, and require this package. Added for mysql-testsuite
    and as a build-dep.
  * Build with DWITH_LZ4=system (LP: #1631339)
    Package was previously built with bundled liblz4, though it
    was specified as a build-dep.
  * Add support for custom datadir to systemd service (LP: #1574782)
    The service was reporting an error if no database could be found in
    /var/lib/mysql. It now checks the location specified in the config.
    Note that user must still handle apparmor access for custom datadir.
  * Fix copy of soft-link datadir to /var/lib/mysql-upgrade (LP: #1474212)
    Upgrade would sometimes fail if mysql-upgrade already contained a
    link copy from a previous upgrade.
  * Escape special characters in password (LP: #1598992)
    Special characters in the root password would cause syntax errors
    and postinst failures.
  * Failing tests on platforms supported by upstream fail build (LP: #1646488)
    A passing test suite is now enforced on i386 and amd64 platforms at
    build-time.
  * d/copyright: Updated with information about new source files
  * Unstable test main.xa_prepared_binlog_off disabled pending upstream fix.
    Upstream bug report: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=83340
  * d/lintian-overrides: Updated line numbers

Title:
  Test failures do not cause build failures

Status in mysql-5.7 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in mysql-5.7 source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Some time back (5.6) the packaging was changed so failing tests during
  the build did not cause the build to fail. It's not clear why, as the
  test suite should at least be expected to pass on platforms that are
  supported by upstream.

  [Impact]
  Failing tests might not be noticed (there are occasionally some differences between build test runs and dep8 test runs). Failing builds can take longer because they're only spotted during dep8 runs.
  Passing builds pointlessly spend time on the test runs, but ignore the result.

  There are multiple elements to the change:
  * Test failures will cause build failures on i386 and amd64 (for now. We will expand this list as we verify green test runs on other platforms.)
  * We run the mtr suite with --force, meaning it doesn't abort on the first failure. This will help us get a complete list of which tests fail on which platforms
  * We add a simple system for skipping spurious tests until they can be fixed or removed upstream (dep8 already has this)
  * The test datadir_permissions has been consistently failing at build-time since 5.7.13, so we add a fix for it.

  [Test case]
  * Build package (the test datadir_permission will fail, but the failure is ignored)

  
  [Regression potential]
  * Spurious tests can cause build failures and not just dep8 failures (though this is technically a good thing, since they should be reported upstream and fixed.), so we might see more random build failures.
  * --force makes builds failing due to tests take longer
