sudo reboot
I did reboot it

just tired again ( one line at time ) and it's showing the same output: ERROR: Your system already has services running on port 80, 443 or 3306.

ok let's stop the services:

sudo systemctl stop apache2 OR sudo systemctl stop nginx if you are using nginx, and
sudo systemctl stop mysql

if the services restart automatically, just disable both using

sudo systemctl disable apache2 (assuming is an apache server) and
sudo systemctl disable mysql

then try again

are you on apache or nginx? can you share the specs of your server on cotabo? I should have ask earlier...

In the meantime, let's repair partially installed packages
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Fix broken dependencies
sudo apt-get install -f

Clean cached packages (optional)
sudo apt-get clean

Retry installing mysql-server (maybe not needed)
sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-8.0

is mysql still running?

sudo systemctl stop mysql
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-8.0 mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server-core-8.0
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql /var/log/mysql
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

Then let's try to reinstall MySQL
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-8.0

Hopefully ithis succeeds! Verify with:
sudo systemctl status mysql

it's ok, this is really testing my knowledge on server maintenance though 😅

Let's force it!
sudo apt-get purge mysql-* mariadb-*
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql /var/lib/mysql /var/log/mysql /tmp/mysql.sock

Then continue with reinstalling mysql
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-8.0

And finger crossed will be running!
sudo systemctl status mysql
