Force install apt-get [duplicate]

I tried installing beanstalkd with sudo apt-get install beanstalkd (also with -f option) and I get the following error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: beanstalkd: Depends: libevent-1.4-2 (>= 1.4.13-stable) but it is not going to be installed mysql-server-5.1: Depends: mysql-client-5.1 (>= 5.1.62-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libmysqlclient16 (>= 5.1.21-1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: mysql-server-core-5.1 (>= 5.1.62-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) but it is not going to be installed PreDepends: mysql-common (>= 5.1.62-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

First download the deb package from repository

apt-get download <package_name>

Install the deb file ( it should be in current folder )

sudo dpkg -i <downloaded_package_deb_file>

Try

sudo apt-get install -f

with no package in terminal.

If this still gives the error of the dependencies then you will have to issue

sudo apt-get remove beanstalkd

then try

sudo apt-get install mysql-server beanstalkd

That should install the mysql dependencies and beanstalk.

try running sudo apt-get --fix-missing install

Run

apt --fix-broken install

with no packages. And the try to install the packages again.
