I cannot install or remove anything whether from Software Center or Terminal.

apt-get install -f 

cannot fix the problem.

Software center shows below message:

The package system is broken

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

mysql-server-5.5: PreDepends: mysql-common (>= 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) but 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 is installed
