In order to install mysql-server on your machine you'll need to update the list of packages by issuing an:

sudo apt-get update

After that, you can do either:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server
or
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0

As mysql-server points to the latest version which is provided by mysql-server-5.0.

Cheers,

Nicolas
