You should not be seeing this problem unless you have -proposed
updates enabled in Software Sources.  To see whether you have one of
the affected versions run
apt-cache policy mysql-server-5.5
and very carefully check the version against those in the bug report.

To sort it remove -proposed as described in the bug report.
