Why are you trying to install from RPM? Debian based distros use .deb files. It is possible, but what is the application you are trying to install, is it in the repos already (or Medibuntu), etc.??

mysql is in the repositories.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server for example.
