Unmet dependencies when trying to install MySQL with wget

ca flag

I am installing MySQL 8.0 in Ubuntu 20.04, but I am facing an unmet dependencies issue.

First I run the command

wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.16-1_all.deb

it successfully downloaded the package.

Second command

sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.16-1_all.deb

This command also successfully ran.

Third command

sudo apt-get update

Fourth command

sudo apt install mysql-client mysql-community-server mysql-server

After this command I am getting these issues.

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libmysqlclient21 : Depends: mysql-common (>= 8.0.25-1ubuntu21.04) but 5.8+1.0.5ubuntu2 is installed
                    Depends: mysql-community-client-plugins (= 8.0.25-1ubuntu21.04) but it is not installable
                    Depends: libc6 (>= 2.33) but 2.31-0ubuntu9.1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I tried with sudo apt --fix-broken install, and this appeared:

"many"? I see one and it has something for you to do ... did you? and how are you trying to install it? your method does not seem to upgrade libc 1st. https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-mysql-8-on-ubuntu/ has a working method

Man, when you try `apt --fix-broken install`, you have to give sudo permissions; otherwise will never work the apt. So, give this, `sudo apt --fix-broken install`

Please [edit] your question and add output of `cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql.list` and `apt-cache policy mysql-common libmysqlclient21`.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
