I don’t have a lot to say here, but it’s worth saying, because all of the solutions I found online, did not work, but I found the issue, or at least my issue, and it was what I suspected.
I kept getting issues with updates on my Linux PC, specifically related to MYSQL/Maria 8.0. Probably other versions as well. All of the solutions I found online were basically just, “apt-remove, apt-purge, apt-clean, reinstall”. Which id not work.
The full error is something like this.
dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-8.0 (--configure):
installed mysql-server-8.0 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server:
mysql-server depends on mysql-server-8.0; however:
Package mysql-server-8.0 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing package mysql-server (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
mysql-server-8.0
mysql-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)What I suspected, and turns out was the case, was my Docker version of MYSQL was fucking with the local version, because the docker version was using the default port of 3606. I updated my docker-compose file, so the Docker SQL instance would instead use a different port, and my local SQL update problem just… went away. The other port didn’t even matter (I just chose 3906).
Anyway, hopefully this helps someone out in the future.
