Here's a step by step procedure to install mysql in Ubuntu 12.04. The repository is given in question by OP. Here's how to add that repository 

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/mysql-5.6/ubuntu precise main'

The question is marked solved so I assume It's a successful solution.

Start by taking a step backwards and purge whatever partial install the system is finding. 

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server

Follow that with an attempt to get rid of any busted config files.

sudo apt-get autoremove

Now you're starting fresh. You shouldn't have to add the repository. Just try 

sudo apt-get install msyql-server

In fact, I'm pretty sure that MySql server and client are both available through the Software Center as far back as Precise.
