In a case like this, try: apt-cache search mysql And it will give you a list of packages where mysql is mentioned. When you find one you want to read about, like, say mysql-server, do this: apt-cache show mysql-server There are several mysql packages, including mysql-server, mysql-common, mysql-client. I don't know which depend on which, but apt will resolve that for you. Hope this helps (with MySQL and other packages).
