Thanks for the post. I have completed your steps but still have the same error in my plesk panel

libmysqlclient15-dev
It looks like a dep problem with zlib1g-dev, so I tried installing it... however..
# apt-get install zlib1g-dev
Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libmysqlclient15off: Depends: mysql-common (>= 5.0.95-0ubuntu1) but 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Any ideas on howto resolve this would be great.
Thanks
