It seems to be because you are attempting to install mysql-workbench from an EL8 repository instead of choosing the EL9 repository for it to work on Rocky 9.

I downloaded and updated the rpm, however the result is the same. Is there someway to download the Python libraries directly?

You downloaded the **wrong** rpm. See in the quote above it says EL8, you need the EL9 rpm or you use the RHEL9 repository from the link I provided. The python libraries will be found when you have the correct rpm.

EDIT:

after checking now, you cannot download the EL9 rpm. You have to use the repository which is accessible here: [https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=511985](https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=511985) however this also doesn’t seem to have a workbench version to install.

So until they release one, it cannot be installed it seems.
