This affects me as well.
in /etc/mysql/conf.d there was a symlink to /home/user/my.cnf[mysql]
-----------------------------------------begin my.cnf------------------------
default-character-set = utf8

[mysqld]

default-character-set = utf8

character-set-server = utf8
character_set_database = utf8

-----------------------------------------begin my.cnf------------------------

After I removed the symlink I was able to start/restart mysql.
