I just created a brand new VM with Ubuntu server 18.04 and took the same steps I did earlier on another server (also a brand new 18.04 installation), but this time while attempting to install the mysql-server 8.0 it was suddenly failing.

The steps I followed were:

wget -c https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb 
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb

This configured my sources.list to use the 8.0 instead of the 5.x version of mysql.

Executing apt-get install mysql-server, I got: 

mysql-server : Depends: mysql-community-server (= 8.0.12-1ubuntu18.04) but it is not going to be installed

Despite having run commands such as apt-get clean, apt-get install -f and apt-get update several times, and apt-get upgrade not reporting any held packages, I found this odd. So I tried apt install mysql-community-server.

Which resulted in the same error, but with missing depends for mysql-community-server-core and libmecab2.

When running apt install libmecab2 it tells me it has no installation candidate, but according to the ubuntu packages website it definitely exists in the repository.

I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary in my sources.list either, and apt-get update isn't reporting any errors either.

What could be causing this installation to fail? I took the exact same steps on the physical server, and it worked perfectly on that machine.

This package(https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libmecab2 ) is in universe repository

Add deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic universe to your sources.list and run apt update to resolve it

or type these command in a terminal

sudo add-apt-repository universe 
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libmecab2
