Bug Description

I have tried this 5 times from clean installs to get phpmyadmin installed properly on a Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal (POWERPC) server. I go through and have no problems installing Apache2, PHP5, MySQL but when i go to install phpmyadmin my output looks like this:

chakra_admin@LinuxV2:~$ sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

 phpmyadmin : Depends: php5-mcrypt but it is not going to be installed

So then i see if i can install php5-mcrypt but when i try this i get this output and this is where i get stuck.... ANY THOUGHTS?
