do: sudo apt edit-sources and look for anything containing mariadb like: deb [arch=amd64,arm64,ppc64el] http://ftp.nluug.nl/db/mariadb/repo/10.3/ubuntu bionic main
comment it out by putting a # in front of it. then run
sudo apt update
sudo apt purge mysql-common
sudo apt install mysql-common
after that you can installed mysql-server properly via sudo apt install mysql-server
Helped me fix the issue.

Hi I've been having some problems lately with starting mysql in Ubuntu-22.04.
When i try sudo service mysql start an error pops up:
Failed to start mysql.service: Unit mysql.service failed to load properly, please adjust/correct and reload service manager: File exists
See system logs and 'systemctl status mysql.service' for details.
I've also tried some "fixes" from stackoverflow and other forums but none of them seemed to work mainly because of the autoremove part.

Any ideas?
Try uninstalling and installing the server like this:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get purge mysql*
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-8.0

Please, run sudo dpkg --audit or sudo dpkg -C, it's the same. It probably will suggest to you what to do.
Edit: According to your comment,
Setting up mysql-server-5.7 (5.7.29-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) ... update-alternatives: error: alternative path /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf doesn't exist dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-5.7 (--configure): installed mysql-server-5.7 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: mysql-server-5.7
the update-alternatives program failed to find this mysql.cnf file.
Could you try creating that file?
Please, do:
sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf
filling with this content:
[mysql]
Then, try again dpkg --configure <package>
Or, this will probably do the job:
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-\*
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
If interested, you could also read A Quick Guide to Using the MySQL APT Repository. They provide different installation approaches for different scenarios.

I am trying to do a clean reinstall of mySQL on my local machine for various reasons. I have followed sever posts here and on stack. particularly followed this post in detail, however every time I go through the steps I end at the same result.

I am absolutely stumped at this point...
As discussed earlier in the discussion in the post, I think you are safe to reinstall it. We should remove all traces of previous installation of mysql and then reinstall it.
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql*
If these were installed as part of the package dependencies for mysql,
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
Then the important bit, this error could be caused because your distribution is not upgraded recently, or at least conflicts are not resolved properly. I would just upgrade Ubuntu.
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Now after this is done, you can try to install mysql as normal again. Hope this will work, please give a report. If it doesnt work we'll try another fix.
Here's a link to digital oceans installation for mysql. Though you could use MariaDB.

I'm running a Wordpress installation on an Ubuntu 12.10 server. The site was running fantastically until we had sporadic MySQL issues, where the site would "whitescreen" for a few hours, then return to normal.
Someone who should not have been toying around with the server removed MySQL to attempt a reinstall, and now mySQL refuses to reinstall. I get the following errors when running sudo apt-get install -f mysql-server from root.

In addition, I couldn't connect to MySQL through the socket before this all happened.
Things I've tried, as recommended here/on other websites:
Restarting mysqld Deleting and (attempting) reinstallation of mysql-server
deleting all files shown when running dpkg -S etc/mysql
apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server-5.5
apt-get auto cleans
apt-get with the -f flag
Numerous server reboots and restarts
Tears
Have you tried entering this through terminal/PuTTy?
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
