I can confirm this in Lucid amd64.
Apparently, we have different versions of mysql-server-core and mysql-
common (wtf?) for amd64 and i386, and version dependencies for other
packages of the complete mysql-server installation do not match for the
amd64 versions.
see the errors reported by apt below:
r...@deckard:~# apt-get install mysql-server
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysql-server: Depends: mysql-server-5.1 but it is not going to be installed
