これは12.04では一般的な問題のようです。私はこのスレッドで以下を含むすべてを試しました:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-client-5.5 mysql-client-core-5.5 mysql-common mysql-server mysql-server-5.5 mysql-server-core-5.5
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
私はまだ同じ古いエラーを受け取ります。MySql5.5のインストール/起動は次のようになります。
apt-get install -f mysql-server

ここでの最終的な目標は、Redmineと連携するようにGitoriousをインストールして構成することですが、問題はUbuntu12.04とMySql5.5に限定されていると思います。
