I am installing MySQL 8.0 in Ubuntu 20.04, but I am facing an unmet dependencies issue.

First I run the command

wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.16-1_all.deb

it successfully downloaded the package.

Second command

sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.16-1_all.deb

This command also successfully ran.

Third command

sudo apt-get update

Fourth command

sudo apt install mysql-client mysql-community-server mysql-server

After this command I am getting these issues.

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libmysqlclient21 : Depends: mysql-common (>= 8.0.25-1ubuntu21.04) but 5.8+1.0.5ubuntu2 is installed
                    Depends: mysql-community-client-plugins (= 8.0.25-1ubuntu21.04) but it is not installable
                    Depends: libc6 (>= 2.33) but 2.31-0ubuntu9.1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I tried with sudo apt --fix-broken install, and this appeared:

  • "many"? I see one and it has something for you to do ... did you? and how are you trying to install it? your method does not seem to upgrade libc 1st. https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-mysql-8-on-ubuntu/ has a working method – Rinzwind Jun 17 '21 at 19:52

  • Did you try apt --fix-broken install – Dave Stokes Jun 17 '21 at 21:22
  • i tired but facing following issue. Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root? – Saad Arshad Jun 18 '21 at 06:08
  • Man, when you try apt --fix-broken install, you have to give sudo permissions; otherwise will never work the apt. So, give this, sudo apt --fix-broken install – Niewbie Jun 18 '21 at 07:01
  • i also tried with sudo, but not helpful.following issues occrus.

  • Please [edit] your question and add output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql.list and apt-cache policy mysql-common libmysqlclient21. – Kulfy Jun 18 '21 at 15:55
