Which version of Ubuntu did you're running? – Avinash Raj Mar 12 '14 at 11:19
That problem can occur when you are using an EOL release which means that the software sources for mysql has changed. The command is correct, https://help.ubuntu.com/13.10/serverguide/mysql.html for the official documentation for 13.10. – Alvar Mar 12 '14 at 11:20
Did you enabled the main repository? – Avinash Raj Mar 12 '14 at 11:20
i suppose it is varsion 11.04 – user10101 Mar 12 '14 at 11:27
Please update your system to 12.04 or 13.10 ;) – Rinzwind Mar 12 '14 at 11:30
Try running sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install mysql-server again. – Hugo Buff Mar 12 '14 at 11:22
