Ubuntu重新安装MySQL错误解决

新搭建的服务器，先在Ubuntu上安装mariadb，后来由于很多权限问题，决定安装MySQL，由于在卸载过程中未卸载干净，导致MySQL重新安装过程中出现了很多问题。

Reading package lists...Done Building dependency tree Reading state information ... Done mysql-server is already the newest version(5.7.21-0ubuntu0.16.04.1). You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: mysql-server: depends: mysql-server-5.7 but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies.Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages(or specify a solution).

通过阅读错误信息可知，主要是因为依赖关系出现问题，主要思路是重建依赖关系，然后干净卸载，最后重装。

首先，更新系统

sudo apt-get update

然后，修复安装错误，会提示输入mysql用户名密码

sudo apt-get --fix-broken install

然后，检索mysql安装包，并删除检索出的依赖包，然后是删除/var/lib/mysql,最后重装mysql。

下面我把检索到的解决方法展示给大家：

We excute the following commands to solve the above problem:     1.Get the list of MySQL packages installed on the system by executing the command sudo dpkg -l grep mysql     2.Remove the packages shown above by executing the command       sudo apt-get --purge autoremove <packages from the step 1>     3. Delete /var/lib/mysql     4.Try to install mysql again.It should solve your problem.

第二步中的packages如下图所示：

最后就是更新系统并重装mysql

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

总结：

整体思路还是重建依赖关系，干净卸载，更新安装。希望对遇到相同问题不知所措的小伙伴有所启发、帮助。谢谢。
