Dependency error while installing mysql workbench on ubuntu 12.04
linux, mysql, mysql-workbench, ubuntu
Solution
You probably ran
dpkg -i mysql-workbench.deb
which doesn't work as dpkg does not resolve dependencies and now the installation of MySQL Workbench is broken. Run this command instead:
sudo apt-get -f install
After that MySQL Workbench should be installed fine.
Also keep in mind that we provide downloads for Ubuntu (select Ubuntu Linux from the drop down).
Problem
I am trying to install mysql workbench. I am getting below error. It seems that it looks for mysql in some default directory. I have all the required things installed, but not where mysqlworkbench is expecting it to be. Whats the way out! ``` local@host:/var/www/$ sudo apt-get -f install mysql-workbench Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
