Re: Trying to install MySQL on Ubuntu 18.04
I decided to rerun your commands. On the apt-get purge command, I get:
sudo apt-get --yes purge mysql-server mysql-client
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package 'mysql-client' is not installed, so not removed
The following packages will be REMOVED:
mysql-server*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
2 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 110 kB disk space will be freed.
(Reading database ... 288455 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing mysql-server (5.7.27-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) ...
Setting up mysql-server-5.7 (5.7.27-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) ...
update-alternatives: error: alternative path /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf doesn't exist
dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-5.7 (--configure):
installed mysql-server-5.7 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
mysql-server-5.7
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I wonder about the line "2 not fully installed or removed"? Also, from the messages it is not clear to me that a complete removal was successful.
