lamp - Error in installing mysql

Currently I am working on ubuntu 14.04. I was trying to install LAMP on my machine from here.
I was able to install apache. But while installing mysql, I got following error:



$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.5 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


I also tried to download the same from Ubuntu Software center, but again I was hit by same error:




This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.


Why I am unable to install mySql-server?
