Today I downloaded the rpm from the mySQL website and tried to install it directly with alien. The result is essentially the same:

$ sudo alien -i MySQL-server-5.5.25-1.linux2.6.x86_64.rpm --scripts
dpkg --no-force-overwrite -i mysql-server_5.5.25-2_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package mysql-server.
(Reading database ... 409708 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking mysql-server (from mysql-server_5.5.25-2_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing mysql-server_5.5.25-2_amd64.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite '/usr/sbin/mysqld', which is also in package mysql-server-core-5.5 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
mysql-server_5.5.25-2_amd64.deb
Unable to install at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Deb.pm line 92, <GETPERMS> line 192.
find MySQL-server-5.5.25 -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ;
rm -rf MySQL-server-5.5.25

The message is still quite cryptic and I don't see here any complain about dotdeb.org.

Any other clues are welcome. Thank you.
