Hi,

When using dpkg (as opposed to apt) to install a package, you have to manually install every package and their dependencies.

So to install MySQL 8.0 with dpkg, you need to download and run dpkg -i for all of mysql-common, mysql-community-client, mysql-community-client-core, mysql-client, mysql-community-server and mysql-community-server-core.
Additionally you need to run «apt-get install libaio and libmecab2» for the two external dependencies you are missing.

A simpler way is to configure our third-party apt repository:
* Download the mysql-apt-config.deb file from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/ and install it with dpkg -i, making sure to select MySQL 8.0 preview from the server list
* Run apt-get update
* Run apt-get install mysql-server

Thanks, the only problem with that sequence was that dpkg gave a scripting warning, but everything proceeded without error.

Closed according last comment.
