Dependency is not satisfiable: libglibmm-2.4-1c2a (>= 2.42.0)

Question

Updated my mysql to 5.6 and as a consequence broke my preexisting mysql workbench.

Trying to reinstall the newest mysql workbench, from both the Software Manager and the latest .deb from their downloads page:

Dependency is not satisfiable: libglibmm-2.4-1c2a (>= 2.42.0)

I'm running 14.04, and I've found the package here:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libglibmm-2.4-1c2a

How come I can't install mysql workbench? This dependency seems to be in 14.04.

Solution

Depending on where you got the package you are currently trying to install, you may have the wrong one - your package needs version (>= 2.42.0) (i.e. newer than 2.42), but the available trusty version is currently 2.39.93.
You may have accidentally got a package for Utopic or newer (possibly via a installed PPA), as both Utopic and Vivid have version 2.42.0-1 available.

However, this package from here seems to only need:

libatkmm-1.6-1 (>= 2.22.1), libc6 (>= 2.14), libcairo2 (>= 1.13.0~20140204), libcairomm-1.0-1 (>= 1.6.4), libctemplate2, libcurl3 (>= 7.16.2), libexpat1 (>= 2.0.1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0), libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.35.9),
libglibmm-2.4-1c2a (>= 2.36.2), libgnome-keyring0 (>= 2.22.2), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.24.0), libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a (>= 1:2.24.0), libncurses5 (>= 5.5-5~), libpango-1.0-0 (>= 1.18.0), libpangocairo-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libpangomm-1.4-1 (>= 2.27.1), libpcre3, libpcrecpp0 (>= 7.7), libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4), libpython2.7 (>= 2.7), libsigc++-2.0-0c2a (>= 2.0.2), libsqlite3-0 (>= 3.6.0), libstdc++6 (>= 4.6), libtinyxml2.6.2, libuuid1 (>= 2.16), libx11-6, libxml2 (>= 2.7.4), libzip2 (>= 0.10), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.0), python-paramiko

Which should be available in 14.04 - the offical repo version from here as well also only needs libglibmm-2.4-1c2a (>= 2.36.2).

Voting to close as unlear because we do not know how MySQL 5.6 was installed, and this is essential to answer the question. (And since the question is over a year old, it is unlikely that OP wil clarify.)

Honestly I wish I could say. It was so long ago.

Thanks for helping. I've upgraded my mysql-client to the mysql-client-5.6 so I can no longer sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench because mysql-client-5.6 is not a valid dependency.

No reason for -f install if you can install new packages with update && upgrade. It should be ran first.

Hm, first I did update & upgrade, and then it offered me to install missing dependincies. But if -f install works first then ok.
