When I try to install mysql-server, an error comes like:

dpkg: error processing package mysql-server (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mysql-server-5.7
 mysql-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

What does it mean. Any ideas?

dpkg returning an error code 1 doesn’t mean anything specific but it usually has to do with dependency issues. In your case, you tried to install two versions/instances of the same package i.e. mysql-server and mysql-server-5.7. So do the following to remove any redundant dependency issues and install a functioning mysql package

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get purge mysql*
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.7
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

this should fix the problem at hand. But in the future, have care about the package names you add after sudo apt-get install since the wrong list of package names — for example redundant entries in the list — results in failure to install either of the packages or worse — you might even find yourself wading through the hellish depths of #DEPENDENCY-HELL

All of the answers I’ve been able to find for this question have been of the form «purge your Mysql install and re-install it.» But in my case, I already have a working/active Mysql install. For me, the reason why dpkg --configure -a fails is because Mysql is already installed. Why dpkg thinks that the postinstall script needs to be run for my already-installed-and-upgraded Mysql I may never know, but it does.

After considerable time scouring for answers, I found a solution that should work if there are others who already have a working Mysql 5.7 and just want to get past this bogus postinstall script. You can edit the postinstall script directly as (on Ubuntu):

sudo vi /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.7.postinst

And then, on the second line, just add exit 0 and then run dpkg again and you should get something like:

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a         
Setting up mysql-server-5.7 (5.7.28-0ubuntu0.18.04.4) ...

You definitely would not want to follow these instructions if your Mysql installation had not previously completed (there’s a reason that the postinstall script insists on running). But for those who might end up with dpkg in a wonky state, as I have, the above can save you a lot of time purging and reinstalling an already-working version of Mysql.

This should help

sudo apt-get purge mysql*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And now reinstall mysql

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

If you’re on a VPS or similar, your error may be due to lack of RAM.

Running apt-upgrade seems to require some RAM, so it may force-close mysql, hence the problem to recover from the error.

Try:

1) Stop mysql manually before any apt-upgrade

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

2) Fix:

sudo dpkg --configure mysql-server-X.X

(if version not known, use just mysql-server to find out (will not fix error)

3) Check:

sudo apt-get upgrade

Start mysql manually if it wasn’t started by apt.

I had a similar issue. This is how I fixed mine.

  1. Restart MySQL service sudo service mysql restart
  2. Then fix broken installations sudo apt install -f

My answer from askubuntu.

New Answer

kill the musql deamon and purging helps

sudo pkill mysqld # kill
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.7 # Or whatever you are trying to purge.

Thanks, @endrias for the suggestion.

Old Answer

None of the apt methods worked for me, try this:

Find locking process

$ ps -eaf
root      7316     1  0 00:19 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 35 --configure --pending
root      7808  7316  0 00:19 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-se
root      7817  7808  0 00:19 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.7.postinst configure
mysql     7973  7817  0 00:20 ?        00:00:00 mysqld --user=mysql --init-file=/var/lib/mysql-files/tmp.iNyY06ty0K --so

Kill it

do sudo kill -9 7973, basically the mysql one.

Now purge

sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.7 # Or whatever you are trying to purge.

i face same error due to problem in my upgrade from ubuntu 18.04 to ubuntu 20.04 , what i did is get mariadb instead also make sure when you do pruge mysql that if asked you to remove dbs in the dir
tell it not to delete the dbs so you will have your old databases with no data loss

what i did was this cmds

sudo apt-get purge mysql*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server

I tried almost every possible way but nothing was working for me. Then I found the problem that I was facing was due to less available ram. You can check your current ram status by free -h (in my case available was less than 1 GB). To clear ram restart your device. Then type following commands

sudo apt-get purge mysql*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

then again install mysql-server by

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

to stop MySQL before being able to install mysql without errors using:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

To solve the dependency issue, try:

sudo apt-get purge
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get check

And reinstall the package again by: sudo apt-get install mysql-server.

Source: Thread: Dpkg: Dependency problems — leaving unconfigured.

Other commands to try:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo dpkg --configure -a

The problem can be much simpler (in my case) I had a missconfigured value in my configuration file [my.cnf] which lead to the error.
After cleaning up my.cnf mysql-server was restarted successfully

If you are working on Debian 10, you need to first install GNUPG:

sudo apt-get install gnupg

That’s all; now you can try dpkg again.

Also pay attention to the terminal you are using, if it is ZSH many uninstall commands will not work like: sudo apt-get purge mysql* and the reinstallation process will fail, to fix this it is simple type in your terminal the word bash so that the terminal used is Bash, run the sudo apt-get purge mysql* command again and also the following commands below to confirm that you removed everything.

sudo apt-get remove mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql

Finally, run mysql --version to make sure there is no version on your machine and you can try installing again.

I came across the yes Unix binary, which is incredibly stupid: it just endlessly types y (try it, you can just run yes in your terminal)

so the following just works (I used this in a dockerfile)

yes | apt-get install mysql-community-server

I had another mysql process running in background.
(ckeck if your lampp mysql server is on, Then turn it off.)
then try
sudo apt dist-upgrade

if lammp mysql is not working then,
check this command,
ps -eaf
and then look for mysql process and kill it by it’s port number
sudo kill -9

I was in the same situation. After completely removing MySQL, I reinstalled it, killed the PID using port 3306, and reinstalled MySQL again. It’s working now.

Файл, который оно не может найти, это часть пакета https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/mysql-common
Почему он не восстановился после переустановки пакета — вопрос на сто баксов. Если и так не сработает, проверьте файловую систему на проблемы.

Никто не отвечал, вот я и подумал, что уже никто не ответит. Спасибо! Но не помогло, зато я уже починил зависимости, сейчас просто не находит тот файл. Смущает, что при установке mysql-common пишет:

mysql-common is already the newest version (10.2.11+maria~xenial).
При чем здесь maria? Там должно быть что-то типо mysql-common (5.7.20-0ubuntu0.16.04.1). Возможно это как-то связано с тем, что для установки mariadb я выполнял вот эти команды:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0xF1656F24C74CD1D8
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64,i386,ppc64el] http://mirror.mephi.ru/mariadb/repo/10.2/ubuntu xenial main'
Как отменить действие данных команд?

И небольшой оффтоп. Меня капча уже доканала, причем ладно бы только капча, так под ней еще и 3 поля с загадками или примером. Как спастись от этого?

I’m trying to install MySQL on Ubuntu 18.04. To do that, first I have donwload the package with the command:

wget -c https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.12-1_all.deb

And then, run the command:

sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.12-1_all.deb

But I’ve got a problem with dependencies and I don’t know what are these dependencies. This is part of the message that I’ve got:

Что эта ошибка означает, и как ее побороть?

This error specified in the title of this article popped out in the middle of the execution of apt command. It is an error which has been bothering for quite sometime. It is because the upgrade process of MySQL Database Server in the Ubuntu Linux Operating System, every operation involving apt tool for package management system include installing, updating and removing packages will generate an error message specified in the title of the article at the end. So, below are steps taken which is basically trial and error in sequential order to be able to completely remove the nuisance of error message generated in the title of this article as follows :

dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-5.7 (--configure)

Below are several of those steps taken :

1. Using dpkg –configure -a.

The first step taken is using ‘dpkg –configure -a’ which is executed since mysql-server-5.7 is considered installed but it hasn’t been configured yet. Below is the output of the command generated :

root@hostname:/home/user# dpkg --configure -a
....
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server:
 mysql-server depends on mysql-server-5.7; however:
  Package mysql-server-5.7 is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package mysql-server (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mysql-server-5.7
 mysql-server
You have new mail in /var/mail/root
root@hostname:/home/user#

2. But apparently, executing the above ‘dpkg –configure a’ doesn’t really help at all. So, after searching further, below is another step taken to solve the problem which is trying to add configuration for generating log in MySQL Database Server configuration :

general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
general_log = 1

It is done by executing the following MySQL Database Server :

user@hostname:~$ vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf
user@hostname:~$ sudo su -
[sudo] password for user:
user@hostname:~# vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf

After trying to reconfigure mysql-server-5.7 which is actually failing, the reconfigure process is continued with the following steps :

3. The following is how to restart the MySQL Database Server process after executing the above process for editing MySQL Database Server’s configuration :

user@hostname:~# /etc/init.d/mysql reload
* Reloading MySQL database server mysqld mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!
root@hostname:~# systemctl restart mysql
Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
root@hostname:~#

3. Checking the status of MySQL Database Server with just a failure :

5. For further reference, the following is the information about the version of MySQL Database Server which is going to be configured further in Ubuntu Linux :

root@hostname:~# mysql –version
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.19, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

6. After reloading the process of MySQL Database Server, unfortunately it caused the service cannot be used as shown below. So, the following is the process to install a new MySQL Database Server :

root@hostname:~# apt-get install mysql-server

8. So, in order to solve the above problem the following command is carried out to be executed in order :

sudo apt remove --purge mysql-server-5.5
sudo apt remove --purge mysql-server-5.6
sudo apt remove --purge mysql-server-5.7
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install mysql-server mysql-client

9. The first one is about removing the program called mysql-server-5.5 :

10. After failing on removing the program called mysq-server-5.7, the next one is to remove the program called mysql-server-5.6 as shown below :

root@hostname:~# apt remove --purge mysql-server-5.6
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Package 'mysql-server-5.6' is not installed, so not removed

[1]+ Stopped apt remove --purge mysql-server-5.6
root@hostname:~#

11. The above process is about removing the program called ‘mysql-server-5.6’ but apparently it is failing. The process is continued by removing mysql-server-5.7 as shown below :

root@hostname:~# apt remove --purge mysql-server-5.7
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
root@hostname:~#

The process failed since it has already been another attempt on removing ‘mysql-server-5.6’ before in the 9th step. So, apt tool stuck because of the previous failure on removing it. Below is how to solve it :

root@hostname:~# rm -rv /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
removed '/var/cache/apt/archives/lock'
root@hostname:~# rm -rv /var/lib/dpkg/lock
removed '/var/lib/dpkg/lock'

12. If there is no MySQL Server 5.6 installed and the process eventually still stuck as shown in the previous output, just terminate the process and carry on to the next process which is the process executed to continue removing another program called ‘mysql-server-5.7’ as shown below :

root@hostname:~# apt remove --purge mysql-server-5.7
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
root@hostname:~# dpkg --configure -a

Мне все не похерит?)

I have an installation of mysql 5.5 that’s working completely as far as i can tell, but every time i run aptitude install someProgram it tries to finish the installation, asking me to set a new mysql password, and still it fails.

I don’t want to uninstall it, because it works, and I’ve already tried reinstalling it, but this same problem happens every time.

Is it possible to mark the package as installed so that aptitude stops spending a minute of trying to configure mysql (and failing) every time i install something?

EDIT:
Here’s the aptitude output, but a newer version is further down below
