im currently installing mariadb in ubuntu server and when i got to the end of the installation process it throws me an error, that goes like this = "the following packages have unfulfilled dependecies" : mariadb-server : depends of : mariadb-server-10.3 (>= 1:10.3.38-0ubuntu0.20.04.1) by the following it wouldnt be installed.
The problems could not be corrected, you have had broken packages
One of the most common reason why this happens is when you have some MySQL packages installed on your system. MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL and both use the same library names and files (both in /var/lib/mysql and /etc/mysql/my.conf). Check this post: Why does Ubuntu prohibit installing both MySQL and MariaDB via apt? for more details. You can do some clean up and try to install it again.
Use apt list --installed | grep mysql and look for mysql-server, mysql-client-8.0 and other similar packages.
If you want to install MariaDB, you will have to uninstall these. You can remove them manually one by one or use apt with wildcard(*) like this:
sudo apt remove mysql*
sudo apt autoremove
