Above is what I get when I try to install MySQL workbench with me MariaDB database server. I went to the MySQL website and tried to download the .deb file directly but this is what I got when I tried to run the file. -> Error: Dependence is not satisfiable: libatkmm-1.6-1v5 (>= 2.22.1)
Any ideas on how I can fix this? Or is it even possible to install MySQL workbench with MariaDB? Thanks.

libatkmm-1.6-1 is already the newest version.

I don't know how to update the cache so I did a restart in hops that that would do the trick. I also ran the command `mintsources` and poked around a bit but I didn't know what I needed to look for. So after I made the changes to the two files in /etc/apt/files and restarted my computer I tried running `sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench` and posted the results. Thanks for your time.
Sorry it didn't work out Garrett
One possible last ditch attempt, remove libatkmm-1.6-1 first and re-run
Software Manager or Synaptic and install mysql-workbench and let either
of those 2 handle the deps.

So I ran `sudo apt-get remove libatkmm-1.6-1` and then went to the Synaptic Package Manager and typed in mysql-workbench and it showed three options to install.
The first time I tried to do this I selected option 1 & 2 but the SPM was showing errors with option 2, it was show the red !. I de-selected and the then selected it again and now it looks like I've go a green light proceed but now I'm afraid to pull the trigger because it's showing that it's going to remove the package mariadb-client. I use MariaDB for a database server rather than MySQL. I understand that it's saying it's going to remove the client and not the server but I'm still uneasy about this. Any advice here? And thanks again.
