I'm trying to install MySQL on my Xubuntu system. I've been having problems installing it for an entire day now. I tried installing it and removing it multiple times, but of course the problem didn't magically solve itself.

With mysql-server uninstalled, I typed the next command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

And I'm getting the next output from it:

Fri Dec 30, 13:05, ~ $ sudo apt-get install mysql-server

How can I correctly install MySQL?

  • Did you try removing it with `sudo apt remove --purge mysql-server`, then do `sudo apt -f install && sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt install mysql-server` ? – George Udosen Dec 30 '16 at 12:26
  • Purging MySQL like that gave the same error, so I tried sudo apt remove --purge mysql*, which worked. I hadn't tried sudo apt -f install, so I did this time, then reinstalled using sudo apt-get install mysql-server. Same problem. – yop Dec 30 '16 at 12:31
  • use `sudo apt install mysql-server` not `sudo apt-get install mysql-server` . Please purge it again before trying again. – George Udosen Dec 30 '16 at 12:32
  • I just tried. It's still doing the same thing. – yop Dec 30 '16 at 12:35
  • what version of xubuntu are you using? – George Udosen Dec 30 '16 at 13:18
  • I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. – yop Dec 30 '16 at 13:22
