MySQLConf.etc.mysql.my.cnf: Error: [Errno 40] Too many levels of
symbolic links: '/etc/mysql/my.cnf'

That error may mean that /etc/mysql/my.cnf is symlinked to itself. (And
if that's the case, then an obvious workaround would be to delete the
file and reinstall.)

As to how that got caused, without steps to reproduce it's hard to be
sure. This bit of code from mysql-server-8.0.postinst might have
something to do with it:

    mysql_cfgdir=/etc/mysql
    ...
    /usr/share/mysql-common/configure-symlinks install mysql 
"$mysql_cfgdir/mysql.cnf"

The corresponding logic in configure-symlinks would be:

  install)
    variant="$2"
    my_cnf_path="$3"
    update-alternatives --install /etc/mysql/my.cnf my.cnf "$my_cnf_path" 200

In my system, this gets set up properly in alternatives:

  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Mar 22 17:50 my.cnf ->
/etc/alternatives/my.cnf

@ Moisés: Can you provide the output of "ls -l /etc/mysql"? Thanks ahead of 
time.
Você pode fornecer a saída de "ls -l / etc / mysql"? Obrigado antecipadamente.
