Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

I hope to install mysql-client-core-5.6 than mysql-client-core-5.5.

I suggest running sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get update to clear old packages lingering on your system, and then updating the sources. Then install the program.
