I have the same problem. On sudo apt upgrade, I get error, "Setting up 
mysql-common (5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) ...
update-alternatives: error: alternative path /etc/mysql/my.cnf.fallback doesn't 
exist
dpkg: error processing package mysql-common (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mysql-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"

I do not even know what to do now.

Should I uninstall all mysql stuff? There are some many dependencies
between different mysql packages, I do not even know with  which one to
start.

And the upgrade process will always give errors, even when I will have
new upgrades in the near future.  Crap. :(
