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:

  1. Unpack mysql-workbench-community-6.1.4-1ubu1310-amd64.deb in a folder.
  2. Change the file "DEBIAN/control", replace "mysql-client" to "mysql-client-5.6".

  3. 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

I have had the 6.2.3-1ubu1404 version which did not contain "mysql-server" string at all. However because of unmet dependencies, I couldn't have installed.

Somehow, I tried to install the requirements manuall by 

# sudo apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a libtinyxml2.6.2 libzip2 python-paramiko libproj0 proj-data

I worked.

My actual error was this one:
