I got error "packages have unmet dependencies" while Installing Mysql in EC2 Ubuntu:

Question

I try to install mysql on ec2 ubuntu-xenial-16.04. When I try to run this command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

I got an error like:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-headers-5.13.0-1028-aws : Depends: linux-aws-5.13-headers-5.13.0-1028 but it is not going to be installed
 mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-8.0 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Is there any suggestion?

Answer 1

try this:

Update the repo

sudo apt-get update

Install mysql-server with the missing dependencies

sudo apt-get install -f mysql-server
