I tried to install mysql server and mysql workbench with Ubuntu software center but It could not install them. Then I used command line to install mysql server and I run the following code repectivly:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install mysql server

But,I got the following error after the last command:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysql-server : Depends: mysql-community-server (= 5.6.24-1ubuntu14.10)   but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How can I solve this problem? IS there any simple way to install mysql server and mysql workbench?

  • Two points: You asked for two packages, "mysql" and "server" to be installed. See which mysql packages are available by doing apt-cache search mysql|egrep '^mysql'. Second, if it is complaining that mysql-community-server is not going to be installed, why not install it?

  • What does "solve my problem" mean? Install some of the mysql packages you found.
