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.

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.
I was working on mysql database, and unfortunately I installed mariadb and when I want to go back to mysql I have error , I removed mariadb and trying to install mysql with this command

and I can not re install mysql , what can I do , I looked for solution but don't have result
Try doing a purge, then re-install.
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-\*
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
I decided to sign up to askubuntu.com, because i really need an advice from experts: I made, with mkusb, a persistent USB Live installation of Ubuntu 16.10, since I'd like to have a portable development environment. Everything went good, and I'm writing from that Live right now.
Now the question: I managed to install apache2, but after hours and hours of searching in the web, and also on this site, I cannot still properly install MySQL server. After re-executing many time the installation, I continue to get this error:
Setting up mysql-server-5.7 (5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.10.1) ...
ERROR: Unable to start MySQL server:
mysqld: error while loading shared libraries: libaio.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Please take a look at https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MySQL/FAQ for tips on fixing common upgrade issues.
Once the problem is resolved, run apt-get --fix-broken install to retry.

Errors were encountered while processing:

mysql-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
And if I run
sudo mysqld --initialize
The terminal still reports
mysqld: error while loading shared libraries: libaio.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So i thought to search for this "libaio.so.1" as well, and I finished up installing the libraries "libaio1" and "libaio-dev" (which seems to be the same). The result, however didn't change even if those libraries are correctly installed.
Is this caused from the fact that I'm in a LiveUSB? Or is there another procedure to install/make MySQL recognize (since it's already installed, and I verified that the file exists) libaio.so.1?
I really hope you can help me, because i tried everything. I apologize in advance for any possible mistake made in this question. Thank you.
Oh, and there is an unanswered duplicate on the Ubuntu community made by me, so feel free to remove this question if it stays unanswered. Thank you in advance again.
After more many hours of research, i found that the problem wasn't the LiveUSB or the library itself. The problem was AppArmor, who blocked MySQL to use that library. So I disabled it:
sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stop
sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor teardown
sudo update-rc.d -f apparmor remove
And a not-so-orthodox way, I completely removed AppArmor, to prevent future problems with:
sudo apt-get purge apparmor
Then I uninstalled and reinstalled MySQL Server flawlessy. It works!
If you got here while installing MariaDB, you can install the libaio1 using below command. The above solutions did not work for me
sudo apt-get install libaio1
Reference is here
maybe you should uninstall mysql and install it again using these command
remove mysql -
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
reinstall
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo mysql_install_db
sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

A mysql client is installed, but when I try to launch it I get this:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
Any help will be appreciated.
Well, I got no help from StackExchange, so I dug deeper and figured it out myself: First I got rid of mysql-server and mysql-client by following instructions at Removing MySQL 5.5 Completely. Then I simply installed the server and client as usual with apt-get. Everything worked fine after that.
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
