Thanks for the question.

You probably did not find the package, because it has been updated in the repository, but these have not been transferred to your computer.

Execute

sudo apt-get update

and try to install again with

sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0

If you want to use the CD you best use a package manager to add the CD to you sources. Then it will also look on your CD. However, the package on your CD are likely older and superseeded by packages in the repository archive available online.

Hope this helps.

Package mysql-client is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libmysqlclient12 libmysqlclient10
E: Package mysql-client has no installation candidate
