Maria Installation Problem - Failed to stop mysql.service

I have been trying to remove and reinstall mariadb on my system however I keep running into issues when trying to purge the previous install.

root@Server:/home/nicholas# sudo apt-get --purge autoremove mariadb-client-10.2

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mariadb-server-10.2 : PreDepends: mariadb-common (>= 1:10.2.26+maria~bionic) but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: galera-3 (>= 25.3)
                       Depends: mariadb-client-10.2 (>= 1:10.2.26+maria~bionic) but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: mariadb-server-core-10.2 (>= 1:10.2.26+maria~bionic) but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: socat but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

When I attempt to fix the broken install. It works fine up until right after I have to enter a root password. I get this message following that.
