Something is broken in your sources.list file. Fix it first.
A month ago Ethan had both Squeeze DVDs and wheezy http's enabled
simultaneously in his sources.list. So he may also need to fix his pinning.
Lisi
Then
run 'apt-get update'. Then 'apt-get install -f' as suggested above.
Then install mysql-server. Then you should be working. This applies
to both your old Squeeze 6 as well as the current Wheezy 7.
I see by your many messages that you have had much trouble in this
area. I think you have a system that is partially this and partially
that and partially something else. So I don't really know where to
begin. Start by posting your current sources.list file. You need to
fix it first.
Are you trying to be Squeeze 6 with GNOME 2? Are you trying to be
with Wheezy 7 with Mate? What is your target goal? If you don't know
where you are going then you might be late getting there.

Lisi -
Thanks.
Here is my sources file --

The two noted above were commented out, update performed, commenting
removed and mate installed.
The system now is Debian7.
I still do not have a desktop, just a command prompt.
OUCH!!!
Further, I tried to run mysql and receivew the followihngf message-
ERROR 2002 can't connect to local mysql server thru socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
TIA
