[Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack)]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

I don't know what you did, but somehow you ended up missing an important file:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.7.postinst: Zeile 191: /usr/share/mysql-common/configure-symlinks: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Paketes mysql-server-5.7 (--configure):
 Unterprozess installed mysql-server-5.7 package post-installation script gab den Fehler-Ausgangsstatus 127 zurück

That file (configure-symlinks) is part of the mysql-common package.

I suggest you try to install, or reinstall, it. Something like:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mysql-common

or

sudo apt install --reinstall mysql-common

and finally

sudo apt -f install

Other than that, there isn't much else that can be suggested because there is no clear indication of a bug here, with steps to reproduce it, just a support request.
