Error Installing mySql on Ubuntu 16.04
Hoping somebody can help me out with this!
I have been following the instructions on this page
I am half way down that page at the section titled "MySQL Install and Configure" and I run the command sudo apt-get install mysql-server. I have hit an error however, here is the output of that error in my terminal:

This is my first time setting up a server and also installing mysql. Not sure if this may be a possible cause of the error, but I had previously tried to install mysql but not following the LAMP process (I am newb figuring this out) and that was unsuccessful and I had to uninstall.
