I need to configure encrypted password files using mysql\_config\_editor but does not seem to be available within the install files I used for XtraDB Cluster. Apparently it is available with the default Mysql Client install. know this is not a Percona product but was wondering if anyone had experience with this. I tried the following: apt install mysql-client-5.7 Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state information… Done Package mysql-client-5.7 is a virtual package provided by: percona-xtradb-cluster-client-5.7 5.7.34-31.51-1.buster percona-server-client-5.7 5.7.35-38-1.buster You should explicitly select one to install.

Hi Mikem, mysql\_config\_editor is provided by the percona-server-client package. Do you have that installed? ---

I do not have this installed but when I tried the install it said the xtradb-cluster-client and xtradb-cluster-server would be removed. I would have thought this would be included in one these two. ---

I have/had percona-xtradb-cluster-client installed but cannot find the mysql\_config\_editor binary.

Ok, seems there is a missing dependency for the client package. Try this: apt-get install libperconaserverclient20-dev ---
