在我的Ubuntu16.04 digital ocean droplet（安装了lamp堆栈）上运行更新和安装之后，我无法让mysql安装。。。我在这里试过很多帖子，但似乎都不管用，结果对我来说总是一样的：

Setting up mysql-server-5.7 (5.7.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) ...
update-alternatives: error: alternative link /etc/mysql/my.cnf is already managed by my.cnf.bak
dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-5.7 (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server:
 mysql-server depends on mysql-server-5.7; however:
  Package mysql-server-5.7 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing package mysql-server (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
                                                                                                          Errors were encountered while processing:
 mysql-server-5.7
 mysql-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

我怀疑是“updatealternatives”行导致了这个问题，但我在系统上没有my.cnf.bak。我不是一个服务生，所以任何帮助都是了不起的！
尝试通过智能安装时的结果：

The following partially installed packages will be configured:
  mysql-server mysql-server-5.7
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
