MySQL5.5 won't install properly
 

I have just finished upgrading my GuruPlug to Wheezy and upgrading all the packages on it. The last ones I tried to install were MySQL 5.5, client and server. However, something goes wrong when trying to set up the server, as you can see in this list of errors.

Now how on Earth can I fix this?

Run the command
and try again
If you are still facing the problem
Remove troubled packages from the file /var/lib/dpkg/status, Follow these steps to do this.
1) First take back up of status file.

2) Search these packages in the file /var/lib/dpkg/status
mysql-server-5.5
mysql-server

and remove the whole paragraph of the package, it will be appeared in the file like this.
mysql-server-5.5
&

mysql-server

Now remove these both paragraphs from the file, save the file and try again.

When looking at the status file, I noticed it also has an entry for mysql-server-5.0, should I remove that too?

You do not need to remove mysql-server-5.0 since it is not the troubled package. Just remove the trouble packages and try again.

If you still face the problem, try to run this command
If you still face same problem.
This is the thread where they had same problem what you are facing.
Look at this too.

Well, removing those parts from the status file, then installing it again produced the same error as before. Running dpkg-reconfigure gave me this error:
However, looking through the status file, the entry for mysql-server-5.0 has an interesting line.
I read the thread you linked to, but since I don't know if the GuruPlug uses MySQL in some way, I'm hesitant to delete any data, unless everything else has failed.

So does that conflict have anything to say?

Well, that didn't help anything. I tried removing all 3 entries from the status file, and got the same error. I tried doing everything from your link exactly as it said, and got the same error.

Then I tried purging mysql-server-5.0 along with the other commands, but after purging that I got the error again. Then I continued to follow the instructions, but at the end of it I got the same error again. So it seems this is not mysql related, but just happened to pop up during installation of this.

Did you add any third party repositories or PPAs to your system improperly (using command line or from software sources )?

If you want to remove mysql, try this command once
If you are still facing same error, try this.
Are you still facing same error?

If it is uninstalled successfully, you can install it using

Sadly this didn't work either. I have no problem uninstalling or installing, it's during the configuration that I get this problem. First I tried purging, then installing with your code, but still got the error. Then I tried running all 3 commands, but got the error again during the third command.

What's even more odd is that I get the dialogue to change password for the root user in MySQL Server 2 or 3 times. I never change it but just press OK, since I don't plan on changing it until I need to use it as a webserver, and I've written a To do list, to make sure I remember it.

As for your question, no as soon as I had installed the base image, I changed the sources.list file to only include wheezy lines and I got those from a Debian source generator. Here is my sources.list:

so I've been using that the whole time. I haven't had any problems whatsoever with the configuration of the over 100 other packages I've had to install or upgrade.
