在 GitHub 操作 Ubuntu 20.04 上安装 mysql-client

Question

I'm trying to install mysql client on GitHub actions ubuntu 20.04 using sudo apt-get -f install mysql-client . It fails with:

mysql-client: Depends: mysql-client-8.0 but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

This is job that contains mysql-client install:

I tried the command with sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade . But no luck. How can I install mysql-client?

Answer 1

GitHub Actions now install mysql-client and some mysql packages by default. Therefore no need to install mysql-client, if tried to it will fail. So I fixed this issue by removing the mysql-client installation step
