Hi there!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Could you please confirm that "sudo apt-get -f install" indeed fixes this bug?

Now, according to the information I see, could you please confirm which Ubuntu version were you trying to update from and to? Or if you were just trying to update this in Natty. Because the information shows that your installation media is Ubuntu 10.04 while DistroRelease is Ubuntu 11.04.

For this reason I'm marking this bug as incomplete.

Andres,

yes I confirm that sudo apt-get -f install seems to fix it.
I was upgrading from mysql-client-5.1 5.1.49-1ubuntu9 to mysql-client-5.1 5.1.54-1ubuntu2
The package installs fine after that manipulation, and I agree with you that it is linked to bug 710505.
