dpkg: error processing package mysql-server

Question

When I try to install mysql-server, an error comes like:

dpkg: error processing package mysql-server (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigure         


        

Answer 1

I tried almost every possible way but nothing was working for me. Then I found the problem that I was facing was due to less available ram. You can check your current ram status by free -h (in my case available was less than 1 GB). To clear ram restart your device. Then type following commands

sudo apt-get purge mysql*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

then again install mysql-server by

sudo apt-get install mysql-server
