Public bug reported:
This seems to be caused (according to the output) by the INITOUTPUT
variable being unbound. After some tinkering, I managed to get an
additional (more helpful) result; the partition that MySQL is on does
not have enough space. I suspect this is the issue, but it seems to be
a high severity bug to not be able to uninstall SQL server when you
don't have enough space on the partition.
