I was just curious if this is just me or what but it's extremely annoying. I have installed Apache2 and PHP on my Linux Mint 14.1 Cinnamon machine fine, but when I use apt-get install mysql-server (as super user), this happens.

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

It's quite annoying, is there a different source I could get it from somehow? Is it just me or is everyone experiencing this issue?

I think it is just you and probably temporary. That IP resolves correctly to canonical (the company producing ubuntu).

It's been doing it to me since last night, I can't install MySQL really annoying me.

Can that host trace to any of the canonical? You might have a bad gateway on this server. YOu read the package info from cache but can't hit the repos when you really want to install.

If you click on the links you will get error 404, I've seen this error when trying to download from a local mirror but in your case the fetch is done from the main server... so try to download directly from the repositories:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/mysql-server-5.5
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/mysql-client-5.5

...and so on for the other dependencies. By the way, have you tried to run apt-get update ?

Ok thanks guys that helps.
