Be sure that downloaded file is mysql with true format. My client does not have permission to access Mysql website from oracle in my country. When i download mysql-apt-config_0.8.14-1_all.deb with

 wget http://repo.mysql.com/mysql-apt-config_0.8.14-1_all.deb

a HTML page Error downloaded... . You should use a proxy or VPN for downloading. I downloaded mysql-apt-config_0.8.14-1_all.deb with Tor browser and uploaded it on server.
