Unable to uninstall mysql-connector-python in Ubuntu 19.04

[pranav.bhattarai]

My Java Sir told me to install MySQL-server, workbench, and connector. I did that somehow after spending 30+ hours reading different posts.
After launching Workbench, I went to Tools > Start Shell for MySQL Utilities. Which gave me this popup: https://imgur.com/GQvHKsI
Pressing Download option redirected me to this website: https://imgur.com/ETr2nrY
After installing this package, whenever I run: sudo apt update, I get this error:

Removing mysql-connector-python (8.0.16-1ubuntu19.04) ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.sysconfig'
dpkg: error processing package mysql-connector-python (--remove):
 installed mysql-connector-python package post-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mysql-connector-python
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So, I thought I should uninstall this, and I used sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-connector-python command, but it also didn't work, and it throws me the same error as above.

What to do? I am in limbo here! Since any new development done in "mysql-utilities" is aged back to Jan 17, 2017, I don't think I will be needing this anymore. I did the mistake trying to install old archived deb package. (newbie)
IF u know, how to remove it, what is it, it would be really helpful to tell me about it.

Please use the default font color and properties unless you need to highlight or draw attention to a part of your post.

I normalized the fonts as you may have noticed your post was unreadable so now you stand a much better chance of getting your issue resolved.

Please use code tags - if you are using New Reply button - highlight text and use the # button in the text box header.

If using Quick Reply then [code] at the beginning and [/code] at the end.

Glad to see you made it here from facebook and twitter.

Normally, sudo apt autoremove should have worked but in this case, I used this command to the solved issue:

sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-connector-python*/tmp

After using the above command, use sudo apt autoremove again and that will solve everything.

As you have already been asked, please use the default font color and properties unless you need to highlight or draw attention to a part of your post.

Please do not start multiple threads for the same problem, it can confuse those trying to help.
