msql broken

[Adam Strawcutter]

Ok I am a noob..kind of. Been a geek all my life but took the next step
to geek hood and got ubuntu. But I cannot fix msql server. I can't get
rid of it, or anything. Its so annoying. I have tried all the apt-get -f
and everything nothing works. Please help. here is the code that I am
getting when I try and fix the bug. oh and I can't report the bug
because ubuntu tells me that msql is not a ubuntu package. HELP!!!
Thanks all.
