As stated in the error message /usr/lib/qgis/crssync: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, you need to install libmysqlclient18.

If you are using Ubuntu 14.04, then sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient18.

If you are using Ubuntu 16.04, then libmysqlclient18 is not available anymore (replaced by libmysqlclient20). You may follow the answer at https://superuser.com/questions/1101426/installing-libmysqlclient18-on-ubuntu-16-04
