Tried dpkg with fsck before and then network enabled. Same thing.

Tried to change the Main Server to US Server, same thing.

Says something like is not an official package this is why may fail.....

This shows when I try to install it manually:

I tried the thing with Synaptic. No broken packages, no updates available.

Tried it form the link you provided and the result was :

If you can give me step by step on how to do it would be great.

Hi,

have you looked here?:

https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/mysql.html

You can also try this command:

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

It might sort things out,other than that, I can only suggest you change your software download sources location per this guide:

http://www.zoringroup.com/forum/viewtop ... f=5&t=2247

I don't do mysql myself sorry!.

Let us know if it helps.

Regards Wolfman

Do I need this MySQL after all ? What is it for ?

Hi,

here is a full description:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL

It is installed by default and if you have apps that rely on a database, then you would need it!.

Regards Wolfman

Just a heads up, I wasnt able to solve this problem......if you guys have any other idea would be great. Thank you

Hi,

you can try forcing an update with the following terminal command:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f

It may complete the update for you?.

Make sure all other package managers and apps are closed when running the above command!.

Hi,

I must refer you to the update guide again and the part about "Duplicate Sources", see this part: Error messages about "Duplicate Sources":

I also advise you to change your software sources download location and change your main software source to "Main" if it isn't already set to that!. See this section: Changing your software sources download location:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2247

Once you have done both of the above, try updating again!.

Let us know what happens!.

Regards Wolfman

Havent replied in a while but thats because ive been looking for a solution and finally found one:


" Looks like i'm heading in the right direction: I used a few other commands in order and got the errors to disappear:
aptitude –purge remove mysql-server
apitude –purge remove mysql-client
aptitude –purge remove mysql-common

apt-get autoremove
apt-get autoclean


aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common "

So for those who are having same issue, thats what solved it for me.

Cheers
