I want to reinstall mysql in Ubuntu 16.04.
mysql-server is already the newest version (5.7.21-0ubuntu0.16.04.1).
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.7 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
After this I wrote a code for removing mysql, but it's not being removed.
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server-core-* mysql-client-core-*
