why not use a repo?

That does not give you away to download the beta.

If you don't pay attention, you get

mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.18a-1ubu904-amd64.deb

"Error: A later version is already installed"

Will someone explain again why this isn't in a repo?  downloading
binaries from an FTP mirror is so 1900's.  Not being able to download
is so home grown.  can we blame Oracle?
