Debian switched to MariaDB awhile ago as the default DB server and it’s compatible with most if not all applications that use MySQL.

I’m not a Parrot Dev so can’t say if installing MySQL will hurt using any other package that Parrot uses. But this is how to install MySQL in Debian Bullseye…

I followed the same steps but same error

OK, I added the current MySQL gpg key and the appropriate repos.

Looks like you are out of luck. Parrot has moved on from supporting Oracle’s MySQL quite awhile ago. Back Box Linux is a pentesting distro based on Ubuntu which still supports MySQL. Maybe Blackarch still supports MySQL too.

ohk thanks for your info
