N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

So update complete, now install

sean@sean-mcmahon:~$ sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench-community

E: Unable to locate package mysql-workbench-community
sean@sean-mcmahon:~$

I am following this guide. Any ideas why it cannot locate the package?

If you want to install Mysql Workbench Just run this command in terminal

sudo apt install mysql-workbench

You are good to go with Mysql Workbench

For Ubuntu 20.04 or higher version:

sudo snap install mysql-workbench-community

Happy Ubuntu!

snap install mysql-workbench-community

the problem that all snap packages are sanboxed and need to get permission to access local files & connect to DB.

Cannot connect MySQL Workbench to MySQL server

access files

or install dbeaver which is more stable.

First

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Then

sudo apt install mysql-workbench
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libreadline5 mariadb-common
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
  gdal-data libaec0 libarmadillo8 ... etc.

So it looks like community should not have been in the install statement

At the time of my wrinting it seems that only a snap version is available:

sudo snap install mysql-workbench-community

    Hi karel, there is outdated information. apt install mysql-workbench and apt install mysql-workbench-community do -not- work anymore. – Bodo Jan 29 '21 at 10:41

This happened to me when using the native mysql repo which is there by default.

Rather, according to the same guide referred in question, download the .deb package from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/

and then after installing using the instructions you can install workbench using

sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench-community

assuming you didn't touched the defaults in the installation.

You can install MySQL Workbench by downloading the deb file corresponding to your OS version here. Check out the archive page for older versions.

Just do sudo dpkg -i path-to-file/filename.deb. Even if there are missing dependencies, the output of this command will specify the packages that need to be installed (and you can install them with sudo apt install package-name).

Note: There are 2 deb files for every OS version - one is mysql-workbench-community (which is what you need, I guess) and the other is mysql-workbench-community-dbgsym. I think you cannot install the latter without the former.
