Hi, Could you try the steps suggested by cpaelzer one again, but with the first command replaced by:
sudo apt remove --purge mysql-server-core-8.0 mysql-common Before running the 'apt install' command you could also check that all the mysql packages are actually fully gone by running: dpkg -l | grep mysql If you see any package in "rc" state, e.g.: rc mysql-common 5.8+1.0.4 purge it with: apt purge <pacakgename> After the cleanup please try running apt update apt full-upgrade to ensure all the installed packages are in a clean state. Then go ahead with: sudo apt install mysql-server-8.0 Hopefully this will help! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881667 Title: package mysql-server-8.0 8.0.20-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-8.0/+bug/1881667/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
