sudo apt-get install -fClean cached packages (optional)
sudo apt-get cleanRetry installing mysql-server (maybe not needed)
sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-8.0reply

sudo apt-get purge mysql-* mariadb-*
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql /var/log/mysql /tmp/mysql.sockThen continue with reinstalling mysql
