the problem is that after 516
 >516  wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo 
apt-key add -

you try to install koha-common
 >   517  sudo apt-get install koha-common

The correct sequence is:
wget -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install koha-common


I suggest you to read all web page 
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages before to 
continue

Remeber that your version of Linux Mint uses MySQL 5.7 so check this 
paragraph:

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages#Ubuntu_16.04_and_MySQL_5.7

Generaly speaking use Linux Mint only if you know it very well.
Koha is tested on Debian and Ubuntu, we probaly have very little 
experience on Linux Mint.

Bye
Zeno Tajoli
