Since Iīve installed Ubuntu, about 2 hours ago, with the help of a friend, Iīve been having some trouble getting mysql running. You see, everytime I try to download it, it says:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.0_5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4_i386.deb: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

AND it tells me to reinstall mysql, even though that option is blurred out. I canīt sudo apt-get remove mysql-server either. Iīve tried Complete Removal, but that doesnīt help either. Any ideas?

Thanks, Dan
