I am trying to run 

sudo apt-get upgrade

But it gaves me below output. I tried to run 

sudo apt-get -f install

but there isn't any difference.

Also i tried to run dpkg --configure -a, but its helpless too. The output is:

Assuming that you tried to install mysql-client-core-5.6 first.

Open your terminal and type:

sudo apt-get purge mysql-client-core-5.6
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get install mysql-client-core-5.5
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
