what I would like to install is mysql server and client , but even I install which of them , it still pop the dependences error , can advise how can I install this package and with its dependences by one command ? or any easy way to install it without install all dependences one by one ? thx

I merged your two related threads and would ask
that you keep your discussions in one place.

Seems like a problem with your networking or maybe that mirror was down. Can you ping, say, google? What's your /etc/apt/sources.list like?
