Mysql error

[Jeremyy44]

Hi I keep getting this error while trying to either configure or even remove mysql-server-8.0 and cant seem to find anything online.

 

Setting up mysql-server-8.0 (8.0.22-0ubuntu0.20.04.3) ...
Failed to stop mysql.service: Unit mysql.service not loaded.
invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "stop" failed.
update-alternatives: error: alternative path /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf doesn't exist
dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-8.0 (--configure):
 installed mysql-server-8.0 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:

Looks like the installation failed. The service isn't loaded because it wasn't "enabled". A service is installed by running systemctl enable <service>

Stopping failed due to not running or not being installed correctly.

 

Have you tried purging the package?

 

(sudo) apt-get purge mysql*
