Hello and thanks for this bug report. In the attached logs I see the following:

MySQLConf.etc.mysql.my.cnf: Error: [Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links: '/etc/mysql/my.cnf'

This looks like a local configuration problem (circular symlinking), rather than a bug in Ubuntu.

You can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: https://ubuntu.com/support/community-support

Since we use this bug tracker to track bugs in Ubuntu, rather than configuration problems, I'm marking this bug as Invalid. This helps us to focus on fixing bugs in Ubuntu.

If you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New. Thanks!
