I've seen your original problem frequently, mysql and mariadb both are
turned off during upgrades, and then apt-get goes on to install other
packages, which might require a database to be running and have no
control over this.  A workaround is, whenever you have mysql (or
mariadb) present, update it first and alone, like this:

apt-get update
apt-get install default-mysql-server      # this command depends on your
version, just reinstall mysql's server first.
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

This way mysql gets updated first, and will be running for the rest of
your system.
