Don't install unsupported third-party .debs if you expect to be able to
install Debian packages afterwards.

This dotdeb package you have installed is completely unrelated to the Debian
PHP packaging.  You need to either downgrade php5-common (and related
packages) to the Debian version, or get your php5-mysql package from
wherever you got this .dotdeb version of libapache2-mod-php5.
