Same problem here. With a fresh full updated ubuntu 6.10. Tryed also the libmysqlclient14_4.1.15-1ubuntu5_i386.deb that some suggested, but still the same result.
Version installer : mce-installer_1.0.0-1_i386.deb and the iso from piratesbay.
Yesterday i did a install with a fresh install without update and everything installed just fine , but then i had the gray screen.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
