Unable to install mysql 5.7 on ubuntu 20.04
Solution 1
Mysql 5.7 is not available to the Ubuntu 20.04. Only mysql 8.0 and higher version are available to Ubuntu 20.04 when you use mysql repository. Here you are using bionic source list (Ubuntu 18.04) for Ubuntu 20.04. I believe this workaround sometimes causes messup with dependencies tree.
You need to download mysql 5.7 packages with their dependencies from official mysql site here and install manually by executing below command in terminal.
sudo dpkg -i <package name>
Solution 2
The later error mysql-community-server : Depends: mysql-client (= 5.7.31-1ubuntu18.04) but 8.0.20-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 is to be installed
is occurred because of multiple versions of MySQL available. When you tried to install mysql-community-server 5.7, APT tried to fetch latest mysql-client which is 8.0 since all have same priority and that's incompatible with MySQL 5.7.
Though installing packages one by one using DPKG as mentioned by other answer is fine but that may be long manual task.
To make APT fetch mysql-client 5.7, consider changing priorities. To do that run
sudoedit /etc/apt/preferences.d/mysql
and add
Package: mysql-server
Pin: version 5.7*
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: mysql-client
Pin: version 5.7*
Pin-Priority: 1001
Retry installation process. sudo apt install mysql-server
should now fetch 5.7 by default.
Solution 3
This:
sudo apt install -f mysql-client=5.7.30-1ubuntu18.04
should be:
sudo apt install -f mysql-client=5.7.31-1ubuntu18.04
I landed on your question with the same problem and solved this by looking here http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/dists/bionic/mysql-5.7/binary-amd64/Packages

Can anyone help me in installing mysql 5.7. I tried following this answer, but when I run
sudo apt-cache policy mysql-server
It gives me:
8.0.20-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 500 500 http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main i386 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security/main i386 Packages 8.0.19-0ubuntu5 500 500 http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 500 http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main i386 Packages 5.7.31-1ubuntu18.04 500 500 http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu bionic/mysql-5.7 amd64 Packages 5.7.30-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 500 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main i386 Packages
Which are different from the linked answer.
When I tried to
sudo apt install -f mysql-client=5.7.30-1ubuntu18.04
It gives me error
Version '5.7.30-1ubuntu18.04' for 'mysql-client' was not found.
When I run
sudo apt install -f mysql-client-5.7
command it installed mysql version. I also does not findsmysql-community-server=5.7.30-1ubuntu18.04
.I tried to run
sudo apt install -f mysql-community-server
It gives me following error:mysql-community-server : Depends: mysql-client (= 5.7.31-1ubuntu18.04) but 8.0.20-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 is to be installed

Kulfy almost 4 years@MaazAnzar You don't have to install 32 bit packages as well if you're having 64 bit OS.

Serg over 3 yearsThis works well. The link in the answer works and shows .33 at the moment I've checked it.

GDP2 over 2 yearsIn case others have similar trouble: I downloaded the entire
DEB Bundle
package on that link. Then, I extracted the tarball into its own folder. Once inside the folder, I ransudo dpkg -i *.deb
. Halfway through the installation process, it failed onmysql-community-client
. Apparently certain dependencies were unmet. In order to fix this, I had to runsudo apt-get install --fix-broken
. Then, I was able to re-runsudo dpkg -i *.deb
and it finished successfully. The Oracle docs were also useful to me: docs.oracle.com/cd/E17952_01/mysql-5.6-en/…
