Question

I have tried following commands

sudo apt-get remove mssql-server

sudo apt-get -f

but it is telling like this

The following packages have unmet dependencies: mssql-tools : Depends: msodbcsql17 (>= 17.2.0.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: msodbcsql17 (< 17.3.0.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

kindly tell some working solution

Answer 1

使用sudo apt-get -f install修复丢失的依赖项，然后执行sudo apt-get remove mssql-server卸载服务器。

您还可以使用sudo rm -rf /var/opt/mssql/删除数据目录。 （请谨慎使用该命令：如果不小心，它将删除所有内容！）
