“sudo apt-get install aptitude”
“sudo aptitude install mysql-server”

I had conflicts due to mariadb components, aptitude removed the conflicts and installed mysql.

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Remove the following packages:

  1. default-mysql-client-core [1.0.2 (now, stable)]
  2. default-mysql-server-core [1.0.2 (now, stable)]
  3. mariadb-client-core-10.1 [10.1.26-0+deb9u1 (now, stable)]
  4. mariadb-server-core-10.1 [10.1.26-0+deb9u1 (now, stable)]

Thanks for the post. I was not asked for a password during the installation, when I try to run

mysql -p, it asks for a password, empty pass did not work, is there a file to get the pass from? or any default?

Thanks,
David R

Actually he ran the mysql -p in super user mode.

Try run sudo mysql -p
