Dependency error while installing mysql workbench on ubuntu 12.04 - mysql

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

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a 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).

Try installing again, let it fail and run the second command:
sudo apt-get -f install mysql-workbench
sudo apt --fix-broken install
That did the trick for me on a similar issue for me trying to install mysql 5.7 on ubuntu 18.04. The problem manifested in my machine because I first tried to install mysql with a DEB package and then I tried to install it from mysql's apt repository.

I faced same issue but the below method worked for me. sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench use this link for more details - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-apt-repo-quick-guide/en/#apt-repo-fresh-install

After the installation faild I use
sudo apt --fix-broken install
And all works as expected

If the error is :
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysql-workbench : Depends: gdal-abi-2-1-2
Updating the package tree will do nothing.
NOTE: this is a set of ideas to try (so the answer is incomplete but i think it can help some) [I didn't get the time to test all the options] (when i do i will update)
A solution is to download that package and install it from
https://debian.pkgs.org/9/debian-main-amd64/libgdal20_2.1.2+dfsg-5_amd64.deb.html
direct download link
http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gdal/libgdal20_2.1.2+dfsg-5_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./libgdal20_2.1.2+dfsg-5_amd64.deb # and that being in the download folder
Note that will downgrade libgdal20, at least in my case:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
blender frei0r-plugins libopencv-calib3d3.2 libopencv-contrib3.2 libopencv-features2d3.2 libopencv-highgui3.2 libopencv-imgcodecs3.2
libopencv-objdetect3.2 libopencv-stitching3.2 libopencv-superres3.2 libopencv-videoio3.2 libopencv-videostab3.2 libopencv-viz3.2 libopenimageio1.8
libvtk6.3
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libarmadillo7 libdap23 libnetcdf11 libproj12 libxerces-c3.1
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
libgdal20
You can see here how many package are to be removed, blender one of them for me. So check if you want to do that.
After that you should be good to install workbench (haven't tried it, just think it will work, i didn't want to uninstall blender).
Another way, which is not reassuring, is to install the latest version from the official website, getting the for ubuntu package. https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/.
Installed it working fine up to now. You will get a message alerting about the system, and that errors may occur. You can choose to not see again the message.
And last way, installing from the source code, i don't have time currently, so i will update once it's done. I think this will be the best options, as a good way to learn new things. I will update and write a tutorial once i do it.

for me this command worked
sudo apt-get -f install ./mysql-workbench-community-dbgsym_8.0.28-1ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb

Download mysql-workbench-community_8.0.29-1ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb
from https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/
... NOT mysql-workbench-community-dbgsym... !!!
choose a version that matches your Linux version
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt install gnome-keyring libproj-dev libpcrecpp0v5
sudo dpkg -i mysql-workbench-community_8.0.29-1ubuntu20.04_amd64.deb

How to forcefully remove MySQL and MariaDB from Ubuntu 16.04, without `apt-get` and `dpkg`?

By wrong uninstalling MariaDB, I've lost working instance of MySQL and MariaDB in my Ubuntu 16.04 system...
I've broken the dependencies so much, that I can not uninstall or install MySQL or MariaDB, using apt-get, or dpkg...
All the following commands failed:
apt-get [install -f] [update] [remove] [purge] [autorove] [clean] [check]
and options with dpkg such as:
dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq mysql
also don't help me.
Manually downloading the package and attempting to install from a local file did not help.
For each installation, uninstallation or other attempt, I get almost the same result:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mariadb-client : Depends: mariadb-client-10.0 (>= 10.0.34-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) but it is not installed
mariadb-server-10.0 : PreDepends: mariadb-common (>= 10.0.34-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) but it is not installed
Depends: mariadb-client-10.0 (>= 10.0.34-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) but it is not installed
Breaks: mysql-server
mariadb-server-core-10.0 : Depends: mariadb-common (>= 10.0.34-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) but it is not installed
mysql-server : Depends: mysql-community-server (= 5.7.22-1ubuntu16.04) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
Is there any different way to permanently remove any traces and remnants of MySQL and MariaDB from the operating system, so that I can reinstall MySQL itself?
I need to working with MySQL, but I can't reinstall the operating system.
Please help me.
God exists! :D
The problem was solved by entering:
sudo apt-get -f install
without any other parameters
and later displaying all packages via:
sudo dpkg -l | grep mariadb
sudo dpkg -l | grep mysql
and removing problematic packages in the right order:
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove package_name
After the complete removal of all problematic packages, I could re-install MySQL without any problems...
Thank you #YuriLachin for your help.
It is probably better to address the question to serverfault.com.
Run:
dpkg --audit
to find what is broken.
Then run:
dpkg --list|grep -i mysql
and
dpkg --list|grep -i mariadb
Look at the first (status) column and, optionally, inspect detailed status for some of packages with:
dpkg-info -s <name-of-package>
Then you can try to remove found mysql/mariadb related packages with
dpkg -remove --force-remove-reinstreq <package-list>
As a way around you can always run mysq in docker container without mysql being installed

Can't remove mysql-server from Ubuntu

I've gotten into a bad state with MySQL on Ubuntu 16.04, so I attempted to remove it. I thought I successfully removed it with apt-get remove, but now whenever I do an apt-get or something I get the following:
$ sudo apt-get purge mysql-client-core-5.5
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package 'mysql-client-core-5.5' is not installed, so not removed
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysql-server-5.7 : PreDepends: mysql-common (>= 5.5) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mysql-client-5.7 (>= 5.7.16-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mysql-common (>= 5.6.22-1~) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
This seems to happen for any package I try to remove / install / etc. What's the best way to remove this?

Can't find nor install mysql_config

I get this error from Inspircd
Can't exec "mysql_config": No such file or directory at /home/alpha/inspircd-2.0.19/make/utilities.pm line 392, <FLAGS> line 37.
Make sure you have pkg-config installed
In the case of gnutls configuration errors on debian,
Ubuntu, etc, you should ensure that you have installed
gnutls-bin as well as libgnutls-dev and libgnutls.
I've been looking all over the internet trying to find out how to remove the errors.
I have read multiple threads but no luck. I know I need the libmysqlclient-dev package but I can't for the life of me get it installed.
I run
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
Also tried cleaning, "-f" and so on but I still get the error.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libmysqlclient-dev : Depends: libmysqlclient18 (= 5.5.40-0ubuntu1) but 5.5.41-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I tried it with aptitude
sudo aptitude install libmysqlclient-dev
then I downgraded libmysqlclient18 one version and now it works as it should.
you tried remove all PPA ( Personal Package Archive )?
before try:
sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install libmysqlclient-dev
I see in Bugtrack MYSQL:
https://goo.gl/34NUgo
your ERROR is Bug know Bug #73522 Installation of libmysqlclient-dev fails if libmysqlclient18 is from percona
still unsolved:
status: Unsupported
environment: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS; Kernel 3.13, MySql 5.6
att
Have you tried tu upgrade your libmysqlclient18 packet ? (Perform an apt-get update before, just in case ...)
