I do confirm this issue on Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic) whereas on 18.04 and 19.10, it's working fine. It seems that the package information is missing from MySQL's repository information for Cosmic. But it should look like something like this.
So, clearly it's the issue from MySQL repository. You could either wait until it is corrected or download relevant packages from pool and install them.

Is there any documentation on what pool is? (Even better: Is there documentation somewhere on how to navigate repo.mysql.com in general, and what the purpose of each directory is, and who updates these files, and how they generated the files?) – David Winiecki Mar 15 '23 at 19:01

@DavidWiniecki You might be interested in knowing more about Debian Repository Format :) – Kulfy Jun 19 '23 at 17:58
sudo apt update
after that? Any errors shown? What is the output ofcat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql.list

You may comment out entries below, but any other modifications may be lost.
Use command 'dpkg-reconfigure mysql-apt-config' as root for modifications.
