Installing Mysql Workbench on ubuntu 14.04
I have installed MariaDb as its supported by Ubuntu community , mentioned in release note of latest LTS.
After that I tried to install Mariadb-client , that too installed successfully, after that its good to have GUI tool So decided to install MySql-workbench from both Ubuntu-SOftware-Center and via Terminal but it prompted errors mentioned below-
Error via Ubuntu-Software-Center-
This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
mysql-workbench: Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) but 1:4.9-20140406-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
Depends: libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a (>= 1:2.24.0) but 1:2.24.4-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
Depends: libpcrecpp0 (>= 7.7) but 1:8.31-2ubuntu2 is to be installed
Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2) but it is a virtual package
Depends: mysql-workbench-data (= 6.0.8+dfsg-2) but 6.0.8+dfsg-2 is to be installed.
Error via Terminal-
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysql-workbench : Depends: mysql-client
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
This one has become confirmed bug on launchpad as mentioned here.
On the official website of My-sql , the versions of workbench are only available till saucy (13.10) , So how can I install it.
UPDATE 1
Added the following lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
# MariaDB 10.0 repository list - created 2014-04-19 11:47 UTC
# http://mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/
deb http://mirror.mephi.ru/mariadb/repo/10.0/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://mirror.mephi.ru/mariadb/repo/10.0/ubuntu trusty main
No change , still same issue. There is some problems between trusty and version 10.1.10 of Mariadb . So tried
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient18=10.1.10-mariadb1~trusty mysql-common=10.1.10-mariadb1~trusty
And its output is -
E: Version '10.1.10-mariadb1~trusty' for 'libmysqlclient18' was not found
E: Version '10.1.10-mariadb1~trusty' for 'mysql-common' was not found
So the thing is simple it could not find it . though its there on the official website.
UPDATE 2
Removed MariaDB 10.1.10 , but the problem is still same with MariaDB 5.5.37.
I got around it by using the latest community version and removing mysql-client from the depends
Assuming mariadb is already installed
Download mysql workbench from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/tools/workbench/ (version for 13.10 on 14.04 is fine)
From the directory the file is downloaded run:
sudo apt-get remove mysql-workbench mysql-workbench-data
dpkg-deb -x mysql-workbench-community-6.*.deb tmp_mysql-workbench
dpkg-deb --control mysql-workbench-community-6.*.deb tmp_mysql-workbench/DEBIAN
sed -i -e 's/mysql-client, //' tmp_mysql-workbench/DEBIAN/control
dpkg -b tmp_mysql-workbench mysql-workbench-community_patched.deb
sudo dpkg -i mysql-workbench-community_patched.deb
The link to download direct version for 14.04 is here http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQLGUITools/mysql-workbench-community-6.1.7-1ubu1404-amd64.deb
It's a bug and should be fix but it's a temporary solution:
- Unpack mysql-workbench-community-6.1.4-1ubu1310-amd64.deb in a folder.
- Change the file "DEBIAN/control", replace "mysql-client" to "mysql-client-5.6".
-
Go to the terminal and make a new ".deb":
dpkg -b mysql-workbench-community-6.1.4-1ubu1310-amd64/
Done! Now you can install from the new deb file.
I downloaded .deb from the official site (13.10), and I haven't got problem.
But I have mysql-server, not mariadb
