Hi Mahmoud

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in Ubuntu.

I notice from the installer log that you are trying to install mysql-server-5.0.

This is not supported on Ubuntu 12.04 as is causing the error that you are seeing.

I would recommend that you don't try and mix 5.0 and 5.5.

Marking this bug as 'Invalid' as it relates to non-Ubuntu distributed software.

Thanks
