In fact, I tried both and failed,
1) etch, I don't know how to active the suggest option, any hint?
Get:35 ftp://ftp.linuxforum.net etch/main mysql-server-5.0 5.0.16-1 [17.1MB]
Fetched 43.0MB in 7m8s

E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential
package e2fsprogs due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad,
but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option.
E: Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs
2) backport, I disabled etch, update, then issue below command again, It is
strange that apt-get also failed.
apt-get install mysql-server-5.0

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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
