Ubuntu 20.04 tries and fails to start mysql server on any apt operation

Question

I recently needed to install MariaDB and installed it. I had several issues with starting it and decided to remove the package. After that, I was unable to start my MySQL server either. I can't remember for the life of me what the problems were. I'm not even sure I knew at any point but finally, I decided to reinstall the MySQL server altogether.

The current situation is that I cant run apt without getting an error that says MySQL Comunity Server cant be started.

Here is the output of sudo apt install rar

I don't understand what makes apt rely on starting a MySQL server. I don't know how to make it not do so. I know this may not be a sufficient amount of information but it's all I have.
