I’ve recently upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS and it tells me that mySQL 8 didn’t update successfully. When I try to follow steps to “Fix” the error I keep getting the same error:
dpkg: error processing package mysql-server (–configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: mysql-server-8.0 mysql-server
Please help!

Hi, @davidboudia You can use the following to remove any redundant dependency issues and install a functioning MySQL package
Note: I will strongly recommend you to take a snapshot of the droplet before executing any commands. Further troubleshooting the issue can cause issues with other services and it’s good to have a copy of the current state of the droplet.
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 sort the issue for you. Let us know how it goes.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
