apt

I tried installing beanstalkd with sudo apt-get install beanstalkd (also with -f option) and I get the following error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  beanstalkd: Depends: libevent-1.4-2 (>= 1.4.13-stable) but it is not going to be installed
  mysql-server-5.1: Depends: mysql-client-5.1 (>= 5.1.62-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: libmysqlclient16 (>= 5.1.21-1) but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: mysql-server-core-5.1 (>= 5.1.62-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
                    PreDepends: mysql-common (>= 5.1.62-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
