Following the instructions on that site, adding the repo, there seems to be 
a missing dependency.

The final install command line returns this:

gene at coyote:/var/log$ sudo apt-get install mariadb-server
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
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 following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mariadb-server: Depends: mariadb-server-5.5 (= 5.5.36+maria-1~lucid) but 
it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

I'll see what Synaptic can make of it, it may be more verbose.
Yes. It will not install the meta packages but will all the 5.5's, but when 
I click apply, it also wants to expunge all of kde.  That obviously will 
not do.

Sniff...
