are you on apache or nginx? can you share the specs of your server on cotabo? I should have ask earlier...

In the meantime, let's repair partially installed packages
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Fix broken dependencies
sudo apt-get install -f

Clean cached packages (optional)
sudo apt-get clean

Retry installing mysql-server (maybe not needed)
sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-8.0

you are not if the error before was:
Failed to disable unit: Unit file apache2.service does not exist.

What's the contabo service you got?

is mysql still running?

sudo systemctl stop mysql
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-8.0 mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server-core-8.0
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql /var/log/mysql
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

Then let's try to reinstall MySQL
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-8.0

Hopefully ithis succeeds! Verify with:
sudo systemctl status mysql

it's ok, this is really testing my knowledge on server maintenance though 😅

Let's force it!
sudo apt-get purge mysql-* mariadb-*
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql /var/log/mysql /tmp/mysql.sock

Then continue with reinstalling mysql
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-8.0

And finger crossed will be running!
sudo systemctl status mysql

Such relief... great! btw, maybe previous database now lost. But I assume you have still a backup/snapshot from the initial state.
