MySQL 8 installation fail - dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server:

I wasn't able yet to install MySQL 8 in Ubuntu.

• Distribution : Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (running on windows using WSL)
• WSL version : 4.4.0-17134-Microsoft
• Mysql-server : 8.0.16-2ubuntu18.04 amd64

I am following these instructions - Steps for a fresh installation of MySQL

Deb Package downloaded : (mysql-apt-config_0.8.13-1_all.deb)

I have tried some suggestions that I found at the internet, based on similar cases, but none of them worked. Example : sudo apt -f install -> In order to fix the dependency problem.

After the installation, I run the command to start the mysql server, but the service isn't recognized, so the installation fail.

Based on my experience, it's very hard to evaluate exactly the root cause of the problem, any suggestion recommendation and suggestion would be really appreciated.

I am planning to follow this installation process My SQL Community Server, https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/, where I can select the packages to be installed.

I followed the recommendations of the other question, but it didn't work, but I agree that the question is duplicated.
