I am getting the following error while install mysql

Steps I did : Downloaded apt file from here http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/ run this command

sudo dpkg -i path

In that there is no option to select 5.5 so I selected 5.6 then 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

but it gives error

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.5 but it is not going to be installed

    Why are you not installing it from the repositories? Why get the one from http://dev.mysql.com? Do you really need the latest version for some reason? Your problems would disappear if you just installed from the repositories. – terdon Dec 24 '16 at 13:20
  • Thanks for reply. I am new to linux. Can you say how to do that or any link to tutorial? I followed some tutorial and was installing. – Pratik Dec 24 '16 at 13:30
  • Ugh, it looks like your first command has changed your repositories. You will need to undo the change. Please [edit] your question and post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d. You need to remove the mysql repository added by the first command. Once you've done that, you can install with sudo apt-get install mysql-server (which is all you needed in the first place). – terdon Dec 24 '16 at 13:34
  • Edited the post. How can I remove mysql repository? – Pratik Dec 24 '16 at 13:50
  • Try this sudo apt remove --purge mysql-server – George Udosen Dec 25 '16 at 18:24
