This was a compelled submission and I expect no tesponse.

I can't complete the installation of mysql-server 5.6.5.6 above. I can't install or remove this or any other package until this error is fixed. I am using synaptic package manager but may try apt-get to fix this before re-installing (or possibly upgrading) my Ubuntu 15.04 installation.
