dpkg: error processing package mysql-server

Question

When I try to install mysql-server, an error comes like:

dpkg: error processing package mysql-server (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigure         


        

Answer 1

The problem can be much simpler (in my case) I had a missconfigured value in my configuration file [my.cnf] which lead to the error. After cleaning up my.cnf mysql-server was restarted successfully
