I was trying to do some maintenance on my new droplet, but every time I try to upgrade mysql, I get this error from APT:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysql-client : Depends: mysql-client-8.0 but it is not going to be installed
mysql-community-server : Depends: mysql-client (= 8.0.26-1ubuntu20.04) but 8.0.28-0ubuntu0.20.04.3 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
How can I upgrade these? --fix-broken-install isn’t working either

Hi @s0ulf3re,
Try forcing the MySQL upgrade with the following:
