Removing mysql from Ubuntu 16.04 creates issues while reinstalling it
0
I needed to delete mysql from ubuntu 16.04. After deleting it, found that I got myself into trouble and cannot reinstall it normally. I also cleaned my system by sudo apt-get clean.
sudo apt-get install mysql-server does not work properly and also tried reinstalling it but could not help.
Why reinstalling a mysql is creating a problem.

Welcome to Superuser. Your question is clear (great!), but the underlying explanation as of what goes wrong, needs some expanding: how do you know that the reinstallation did not work? What is the "problem" you are experiencing?

The package manager (dpkg) gets an error. Could you please provide a more complete log of what goes wrong and add it to your question?
