Please install "mysql-server".  That will install mysqldump.  Since
you don't have mysqldump I can only assume that you were never able to
install the mysql server.

  apt-get update
  apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

But that probably won't work until you fix your sources.list problem.

Something is broken in your sources.list file.  Fix it first.  Then
run 'apt-get update'.  Then 'apt-get install -f' as suggested above.
Then install mysql-server.  Then you should be working.  This applies
to both your old Squeeze 6 as well as the current Wheezy 7.

I see by your many messages that you have had much trouble in this
area.  I think you have a system that is partially this and partially
that and partially something else.  So I don't really know where to
begin.  Start by posting your current sources.list file.  You need to
fix it first.

Are you trying to be Squeeze 6 with GNOME 2?  Are you trying to be
with Wheezy 7 with Mate?  What is your target goal?  If you don't know
where you are going then you might be late getting there.
