I am trying to install MySQL Workbench through the System Settings and I get the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

    mysql-workbench: Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0) but 1:6.0.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
                     Depends: libgdal.so.1-1.11.3 but it is a virtual package
                     Depends: libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 (>= 1:2.24.0) but 1:2.24.4-2 is to be installed
                     Depends: libpcrecpp0v5 (>= 7.7) but 2:8.38-3.1 is to be installed
                     Depends: python:any (>= 2.6.6-7~) but it is a virtual package
                     Depends: mysql-workbench-data (= 6.3.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1) but 6.3.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1 is to be installed

How do I solve this?

  • Now run sudo dpkg --configure -a – George Udosen Jan 12 '18 at 18:14
  • sudo dpkg --configure -a

    Ran well, no results/printouts.

    The following packages have unmet dependencies: mysql-workbench : Depends: libgdal.so.1-1.11.3 Depends: libgdal1i (>= 1.8.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    That's what I get when I try to install the workbench.

    I get error when updating:

    E: The repository 'http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

I had the same problem and got around it by downloading a .deb for mysql-workbench directly from the provider. Hopefully this helps someone else...
