I have ubuntu 14.04 on my aws ec2 instance. I ran following command to find out the mysql-server installations and I got multiple results :

dpkg --get-selections | grep mysql

Now I would like to remove the one's not in use, so my question is how to find out which one is in use?

There are no duplicates in your setup nothing that you can remove and nothing to worry about. – pLumo Sep 12 '18 at 12:55

You are using 5.5 and for the mysql-server that's a meta package, please don't remove them – George Udosen Sep 12 '18 at 12:56
