Suggested fix:
create a package for Debian 12

So it has not been fixed yet? 1 Aug to 8 Oct? Okey.

You can install it with snap package manager

```
sudo snap install mysql-workbench-community
```

just tested snap:

:~$ sudo apt install snapd
:~$ sudo snap install mysql-workbench-community
error: cannot communicate with server: Post "http://localhost/v2/snaps/mysql-workbench-community": dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory

snap is a proprietary Ubuntu packaging format, that require a daemon always installed also when not used that drain resources, and not used by any other distro.

For Linux please use something native like .deb for Debian, or something really portable like the AppImage format:

$ chmod +x Workbench.AppImage
$ Workbench.AppImage

the problem here is that Ubuntu, while it is a Debian derivative, changed the name of some library packages.
So trying to install a .deb file for Ubuntu on Debian or another Debian derivate distribution fail for pre-requisite package not found.
Please provide a Debian package
