Não é possível instalar o MySQL no Ubuntu 17.10

Question

Tentando instalar o MySQL no Ubuntu 17.10 após remover uma instalação anterior do MariaDB.

Para limpar tudo, eu corri o seguinte:

sudo apt-get remove --purge *mysql*
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql
sudo apt-get remove --purge *mariadb*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

Confirmei que o MySQL e o MariaDB foram removidos:

dpkg -l | grep mariadb
dpkg -l | grep mysql

Agora, quando tento reinstalar o MySQL

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mysql-server

Eu tentei comentar a linha 143 em /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.7.postinst, mas isso não ajudou.

Qualquer ajuda seria muito apreciada. Pensando em usar uma imagem do docker como solução alternativa.

    

Answer 1

Então eu consegui instalar com sucesso a última versão do MySQL usando o seguinte.

Mais uma vez, vamos limpar tudo

sudo apt-get remove --purge *mysql*
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql
sudo apt-get remove --purge *mariadb*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

e novamente, verificamos que tanto o MySQL quanto o MariaDB foram removidos

dpkg -l | grep mariadb
dpkg -l | grep mysql

Corrija qualquer problema no bloqueio do dpkg seguindo as etapas descritas nesta resposta:

Agora obtenha e reinstale o MySQL

cd /tmp/ && wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.3-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
