Do you have any plans on updating the package?

Thank you very much.

Ran into the same problem. Holding libmysqlclient18 did not help unfortunately.

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](http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.5/installation/apt_repo.html%5B/url%5D)

This will give higher priority to percona’s packages.
