I'm trying to install MySQL Workbench on my Ubuntu box (11.04). The website has a Ubuntu .deb available for download (for 10.10 and 10.04 so I chose 10.10).
However,
sudo dpkg -i mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.34-1ubu1010-amd64.deb
yields:
(Reading database ... 194069 files and directories currently installed.)

My question is, is there a way to tell dpkg to automatically fetch missing dependencies, or do I need to manually apt-get install
missing packages like libctemplate0 and libpython2.6?
(Or alternatively, is there some other way to get MySQL Workbench easily up & running?)
