Install MySQL Workbench in Ubuntu 19.04

I tried to install MySQL Workbench by:

 apt-get install mysql-workbench-community

But I get the following errors and I am unable to install it manually:

Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.2~beta3) but it is not installable
Depends: libzip4 (>= 0.10) but it is not installable

How can I install it?


Solution 1:

so this were the steps I took in order to install it correctly:

  1. Download the 2 Libraries that are needed and install them:

    • https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/amd64/libssl1.0.0/download
    • https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/amd64/libzip4/download
  2. Go to the MySQL Workbench Download Page and Download (At least for now) the latest version for Ubuntu 18.04 and install it. It should install correctly without any issues.

  1. Assuming you already installed the MySQL Client/Server packages, you should be able to see it like this now:

Note that as of the writing of this answer (April 25, 2019), the package mysql-workbench or mysql-workbench-community do not exist in the 19.04 repositories (Even with universe repositoy enabled). You can see here that there are not packages created yet: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/disco/+source/mysql-workbench

Solution 2:

I solved this problem by installing the libzip package, directly from the deb package. I found at libzip4_1.1.2-1.1_amd64.deb.

Download and install libzip4, then install mysql-workbench from the apt or deb package, whichever you prefer.

Solution 3:

Even if you check the download site (https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/), you don't see the released version for 19.04. Looks like we'll have to wait for the version to be released. That is totally a bummer.

Also I can confirm that the 18.10 installer doesn't work on the 19.04
