I am trying to install the official MySQL repository on my Ubuntu 26.04 VirtualBox virtual machine. I ran the following commands:

wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.39-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.39-1_all.deb
rm mysql-apt-config_0.8.39-1_all.deb

When running these commands the first time, I got a message saying my distribution (resolute) is not supported by MySQL. I aborted the installer there.

When running these commands again later, I don't get this error anymore. But when running sudo apt update, I get the following output:

Ign:7 http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu resolute InRelease
Err:8 http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu resolute Release
404 Not Found [IP: 2a02:26f0:fe00:2ab::1d68 80]
Error: The repository 'http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu resolute Release' does not have a Release file.
Notice: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

How come I aborted the installer, but the repository was still added?
How come Ubuntu 26.04 is still not supported? It was released more than a month ago...
Is there any other way to get this to work?
