Hello, anishkmr0071!

Please share what exactly is under the hood:
lsb_release -a
apt list --installed | grep zabbix

Hello!

Looks like a lot of zabbix packages has been removed already.

If your goal is clean zabbix server I would suggest to take a look in existing databases before continue. Enter
mysql -uroot -p
show databases;

if there is database 'zabbix' standing by then we can erase it:
drop database zabbix;

Create new database 'zabbix' and user 'zabbix' with password 'zabbix'
create database zabbix character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by 'zabbix';
quit;

Now you can follow:
