MySQL Server 8.0包卸载失败问题求助

我在服务器上卸载mysql-server-8.0包时遇到了棘手的问题，每次尝试卸载都会触发错误，提示该包处于严重的不一致状态。具体报错信息如下：

dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-8.0 (--remove):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal
dpkg: too many errors, stopping
Errors were encountered while processing:
mysql-server-8.0
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

这个问题是在我尝试手动给服务器安装WordPress时出现的，我怀疑可能是存在冲突或者某些配置不一致导致的。真心希望能得到大家的指导，帮我解决这个问题！

另外，当我执行以下命令时：

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql*

得到的输出内容如下：

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql*
Reading package lists... Done
