Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

Looks like this was the error:
2019-01-12T12:42:53.904879Z 0 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use
2019-01-12T12:42:53.904887Z 0 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
2019-01-12T12:42:53.904907Z 0 [ERROR] Aborting

I suggest you make sure there is no mysql server running, and then try:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -f install
