Hi,
Yesterday I installed 'wubi' and installed ISO image of 9.04. I was installing mysql-server-5.0 and it got interrupted(manually).
Then when I was trying to reinstall mysql-server-5.0, I am getting the following error.

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I did different combinations of installing mysql-server-5.1 , uninstalling them, restarting the system etc. Now my package info looks like this,
