I have been trying to update MYSQL on my ubuntu 14.04.1 server following the directions here: MySQL 5.5 Update to MySQL 5.7 but have been running into some difficulties. I can run:

sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.0-1_all.deb

sudo apt-get update

but then when I get to:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

I get failure notifications as follows:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-image-extra-3.13.0-48-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-48-generic but it is not going to be installed linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-48-generic but it is not going to be installed mysql-server : Depends: mysql-community-server (= 5.7.17-1ubuntu14.04) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

MYSQL fails to update at this point. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

  • try running sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade before doing the upgrade – George Udosen Dec 18 '16 at 21:20
  • This didn't work. I decided to completely uninstall MySQL and reinstall the newer version however I am still running into the same problem when I go to reinstall. I get the following error: – moorewebx Dec 19 '16 at 22:17

    I ended up uninstalling LAMP and reinstalling everything to the latest versions. I also had to delete some of the old packages to make room for updates. – moorewebx Jan 05 '17 at 15:36
