Hi I ran the following command

sudo apt-get upgrade

However I'm getting the following

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:  mysql-server-5.5 :
Depends: mysql-server-core-5.5 (= 5.5.28-0ubuntu0.12.04.3) but 5.5.35-0ubuntu0.12.04.2 is installed 
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

I came across the following Dependency problem with mysql-server-core-5.5 but not sure how I should go about applying it to my situation.

Any help would be appreciated

This answer should work for you, failing which, try this, changing the version numbers as appropriate. I am voting to close this question as a duplicate. – Mahesh Mar 11 '14 at 06:46
which version number do I change? and to what do I change it? – Oudin Mar 11 '14 at 06:53
In the command apt-get install mysql-server-5.5=<version> mysql-server-core-5.5=<version>, the version number should match what you see from the apt-cache madison output. – Mahesh Mar 11 '14 at 07:19
What is the output of apt-cache policy mysql-server-5.5 mysql-server-core-5.5 and cat /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*.list}. – Braiam Mar 11 '14 at 23:09
I solved it by removing mysql – Oudin Mar 12 '14 at 02:06
