Well, I see that you don´t have MySQL-5.5 installed yet.
The dpkg command is saying to you that the post-installation script has
problems.

* Which repository are you using for installing MySQL-5.5?
* Can you show to us the /var/log/dpkg/dpkg.log?

Then, try to use apt-get -f install to solve the dependencies problems
