Bug description:
  Upgrade fails if datadir is a symlink and the server has previously
  been upgraded with datadir as a symlink

  [Impact]
  When upgrading, postinst makes a copy (with -d) of the datadir link to ensure it's preserved. This copy operation can fail in some situations if the destination already exists (because the package was previously upgraded with a similar situation), causing d/preinst to fail every time the user tries to upgrade the package unless they manually remove the old link every time.

  The fix adds a -T to the copy operation, treating the destination as a
  regular file to be overwritten

  [Test case]
  * Create a /var/lib/mysql that is a symlink to some other location
  * Install an older version of mysql-server
  * Upgrade to a newer version of mysql-server

  [Regression potential]
  This change has been in Yakkety for some time (5.7.15-0ubuntu2).

  The change only affects user with datadirs that are symlinks, and only
  a file copy operation for a file that's generally not used (it's
  backed up just in case)

  [Original Description]
  Not sure if it's relevant, by my mariadb data dir is on a secondary hard drive. /var/lib/mysql-upgrade/DATADIR.link points to the right path.

  This is the terminal output for apt-get dist-upgrade:
