package manager broken

**phthenry** · May 30th, 2013

I get this following messages when I open up my software manager:

Items cannot be repaired or installed or removed until the package is repaired.

When I try to repair the package manager, I get the message I posted below.

I have tried everything to fix it, including

sudo apt-get -f install, but get this message:

mysql-server-5.5 (5.5.31-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) breaks mysql-server (<< 5.5.31-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) and is installed.
Version of mysql-server to be configured is 5.5.29-0ubuntu0.12.04.2.
dpkg: error processing mysql-server (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing:
mysql-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have MySQL 5.5.31 installed, and I installed it by using the Ubuntu package manager.

Thanks!

Paul
