This particular error is stopping me from getting any updates/upgrades
and stopping me from installing anything new:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages

I have tried running "apt --fix-broken install" more than 100 times and
nothing fixes. What do I have to do to resolve this. I can wipe the disk
clean and start again but I want to know how can this be fixed without
using most destructive ways.

Alternative is to uninstall MySql so what commands do I need to run to
uninstall it? I am assuming I can uninstall it but the chances are nil
as far as I can see.

I can delete the installation folder for MySQL so tell me how do I find
where it is on my hard disk. What is the command to locate a folder for
MySQL.

Thank you.

Try this

sudo apt-get update --fix-missing

Otherwise try

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get autoremove

I would suggest backing out the changes you made, that
caused this mess. Even looking in your bash shell "history"
may help tweak your memory as to what commands you issued to
make this mess.

Package Managers are an investment. If the OS is a daily-driver,
you want a means to go from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS
and so on. The package manager is part of the continuity story.
Maintaining the package manager in pristine condition, makes
the upgrade a cinch (I just did one two days ago).

Deleting directories does not update package manager state.

Was I always like this ? No. I've messed up quite a few OSes
to be honest. But after a while, it makes sense to maintain them
and work within the design, than to be constantly breaking stuff
and reinstalling. (Now that we have TimeShift, maybe a little
less breakage could be a result.)

When you go outside the package manager, using .ppa or doses
of gdebi some.deb, you also have to be prepared to reverse
the changes at a later date. You can't keep them. In your case,
the breakage was immediate. But breakage is also possible during
a release upgrade, where operator panic will set in. And you'll probably
dump the whole thing and set fire to it :-) I know I have.

stacer <=== I see. Hmmm. Trouble starts here ?

Burning down someones distro will win you some quality points.

I see someone here is building it from source.

https://github.com/oguzhaninan/Stacer/issues/487

At least then, the -dev versions are in-tree. If the software does
not like the versions, it will have version-checking code in
it which will warn you that it is cranky. Lots of configure
scripts have min. versions checks built in. If a program really needs
a spiffy version, better to find out during configure than
waste an afternoon trying to force it.

*******

I'd do a backup, before touching this with a barge pole.

https://oguzhaninan.github.io/Stacer-Web/

And the gnome-system-manager display doesn't really have
"squiggles" in it. The computer is not filled with
sine waves of activity. That display is just wrong.

I normally use "top" when I want to know what the
computer is doing.

No current tool is perfect for the job. We use the
"least annoying" tool for this ("top"). If a person wanted
to become famous, they could fix this for us.

*******

When I see someone building from source like that, that's
a hint. The people involved, may not have all the answers,
but when you see certain things happen, that's a "clue"
as to the nature of the goods. That suggests that other, easier
methods, didn't work out so well.

Might help?
