Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

The option you have was as a comment in the default my.cnf in the past.
However, this option is depreciated in 5.5 and removed in 5.6, It was removed from the default conf later on.

But since Ubuntu preserves your changes to a config you might still have that in which is now causing that break.

Fix your config related to this and reinstalling should fix your issue on your system.
There is some more background and the try to auto-fix some common cases already included, feel free to read https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1571865 for more.
