When trying to install Zend Server on Lucid you will be met with the following dependency problems:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php-5.2-mysql-zend-server: Depends: libmysqlclient15off (>= 5.0.27-1) which is a virtual package.
php-5.2-pdo-mysql-zend-server: Depends: libmysqlclient15off (>= 5.0.27-1) which is a virtual package.
php-5.2-mysqli-zend-server: Depends: libmysqlclient15off (>= 5.0.27-1) which is a virtual package.

Along with the rather unsatisfactory resolution:

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
help-zend-server-ce [Not Installed]
php-5.2-common-extensions-zend-server-ce [Not Installed]
php-5.2-mysql-zend-server [Not Installed]
php-5.2-mysqli-zend-server [Not Installed]
php-5.2-pdo-mysql-zend-server [Not Installed]
zend-server-ce-php-5.2 [Not Installed]

The reason for this error is that the Zend MySQL packages are built against MySQL 5.0 (despite the fact 5.1 has been GA for over a year now).

Ubuntu have removed MySQL 5.0 in Lucid, but the package from Karmic is usable and available here: http://ns2.canonical.com/pt/karmic/libmysqlclient15off

Simply install this and Zend Server will install nicely.
