I am having same issue with Ubuntu 12.10. Unfortunately, this is breaking all chef builds as even percona-server-client will not install.

I ran into the same issue but was able to get around this by installing the deb files directly:

1. download db files directly from percona


2. install deb files via dpkg 


3. fix dependancies (apt-get -f install)


 


Essentially this: ( [url]http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.5/upgrading_guide_51_55.html#id1[/url])

Here is what worked for me

apt-get install libmysqlclient18=5.5.30-rel30.2-500.precise

As a temporary solution used the “apt pinning” technique explained in the documentation:

[url]Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 - Documentation — Percona Server 8.0 Documentation

This will give higher priority to percona’s packages.
