Sometimes, if you happen to catch a Debian mirror in the middle of an update, this kind of thing can happen. For example, suppose two packages, a and b, have been updated. Let's say the new version of a depends on the new version of b. And let's say that the mirror was caught in the middle of an upgrade. The new version of a has been downloaded from the upstream mirror, but the new version of b has not. It is at this point when you run aptitude update aptitude full-upgrade Now, when you go to install the new version of a, it can't install properly because it depends on the new version of b, which you don't have. The next thing I would try would be to re-run the aptitude update aptitude full-upgrade sequence and try again. I'm not guaranteeing that this will solve your problem, but it might help. Then run dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 and see what happens. -- .''`.
