I am getting this error while trying to install RabbitMQ using the command

sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.5 but it is not installable rabbitmq-server : Depends: socat but it is not installable E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Try doing what the error message says. Open the terminal and type:

sudo apt-get -f install

(with no packages)

From the output of man apt-get 

-f, --fix-broken  
    Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place. 
    This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages  
    to permit APT to deduce a likely solution.
