I have Ubuntu 19.04 (disco). And I need to install MySQL 8.0.*.

I followed the instructions from the official MySQL site to install version 8.0.*, but the version never appeared on the list of installation candidates.

Official MySQL documentation contains:

Adding the MySQL APT Repository

First, add the MySQL APT repository to your system's software repository list. Follow these steps:

Go to the download page for the MySQL APT repository at https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/.

Select and download the release package for your Linux distribution.

Install the downloaded release package with the following command, replacing version-specific-package-name with the name of the

downloaded package (preceded by its path, if you are not running the command inside the folder where the package is):

shell> sudo dpkg -i /PATH/version-specific-package-name.deb

For example, for version w.x.y-z of the package, the command is:

shell> sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_w.x.y-z_all.deb

Note that the same package works on all supported Debian and Ubuntu platforms.

During the installation of the package, you will be asked to choose the versions of the MySQL server and other components (for example, the MySQL Workbench) that you want to install. If you are not sure which version to choose, do not change the default options selected for you. You can also choose none if you do not want a particular component to be installed. After making the choices for all components, choose Ok to finish the configuration and installation of the release package.

You can always change your choices for the versions later; see Selecting a Major Release Version for instructions.

Update package information from the MySQL APT repository with the following command (this step is mandatory):

shell> sudo apt-get update

Instead of using the release package, you can also add and configure the MySQL APT repository manually; see Appendix A: Adding and Configuring the MySQL APT Repository Manually for details.

After the steps in the instructions, I have the following as a result of running the sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql.list command:

### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# You may comment out entries below, but any other modifications may be lost.
# Use command 'dpkg-reconfigure mysql-apt-config' as root for modifications.
deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/ disco mysql-apt-config
deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/ disco mysql-8.0
deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/ disco mysql-tools
#deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/ disco mysql-tools-preview
deb-src http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/ disco mysql-8.0

But as a result of running the sudo apt install mysql-server command, I get the following:

Reading package lists ... Done
Building a dependency tree Reading status information ... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
libaio1 libevent-core-2.1-6 libmecab2 mysql-client-5.7 mysql-client-core-5.7 mysql-common mysql-server-5.7 mysql -server-core-5.7
Suggested packages: mailx tinyca
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libaio1 libevent-core-2.1-6 libmecab2 mysql-client-5.7 mysql-client-core-5.7 mysql-common mysql-server mysql-server-5.7 mysql -server-core-5.7
Updated 0 packages, installed 9 new packages, 0 packages were marked for deletion, and 0 packages were not updated.
Need to download 19.5 MB of archives.
After this operation, the volume of used disk space will increase by 156 MB.
Want to continue? [Y / n]

'apt' offers only mysql-*-5.7 version, and there is no version 8.0 at all.

Also, running the sudo apt-cache policy mysql-server command gives me the following:

mysql-server:
  Установлен: (отсутствует)
  Кандидат:   5.7.28-0ubuntu0.19.04.2
  Таблица версий:
     5.7.28-0ubuntu0.19.04.2 500
        500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco-updates/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco-updates/main i386 Packages
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco-security/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco-security/main i386 Packages

        500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco/main i386 Packages

In the version table, there is not one other than 5.7.*.

At the same time, I have added 'main', 'restricted', 'universe', 'multiuniverse' repositories.

All signs indicate that version 8 should be installed, but it does not appear in the list of candidates for installation. What could be the problem?

you should run command

sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-apt-config

select the first option here

you can choose the version you want

sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

you can install

P.s.

mysql-apt-config is broken or not fully installed

if you get a similar error

https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.14-1_all.deb

you can download and install here

wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.14-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.14-1_all.deb
