Upgrading from Ubuntu 11.04 to the next version seems to reinstall Mysql. Any way to ignore MySQL install during OS Update?

2Please kindly backup data and re-install fresh your system is EOL for over 5 years and a lot would have changed since then – George Udosen Apr 25 '18 at 14:27

if you want to avoid that apt-get upgrade
update certain package, you can "hold" it in the following way:
Hold a package (do not upgrade):
sudo apt-mark hold <package-name>
disable hold (upgrade package the usual way):
sudo apt-mark unhold <package-name>
for MySQL:
sudo apt-mark hold mysql-server

Never had such issue before. On my Mint18 works just fine:
