I have been attempting (unsuccessfully) to install percona-server-server-5.7 on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS.  
Installed from “release-5.7.19-17-re19a6b7b73f-xenial-x86\_64-bundle.tar”, I ran “sudo dpkg -i \*.deb”. This gave me a pre-dependency problem: “debsums is not installed”. So I installed debsums and ran “apt-get -f install” and right after the line: “Setting up percona-server-server-5.7 (5.7.19-17-1.xenial) …” I get the following error:  
dpkg: error processing package percona-server-server-5.7 (–configure):  
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1  
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of percona-server-5.7-dbg:  
percona-server-5.7-dbg depends on percona-server-server-5.7 (= 5.7.19-17-1.xenial); however:  
Package percona-server-server-5.7 is not configured yet.

You don’t really need to install the \*-dbg files if you’re testing PS. Try the following steps:

apt install debsums (assuming you’re done with this)

Install \*common and \*client packages first:  
dpkg -i percona-server-client-5.7\_5.7.19-17-1.xenial\_amd64.deb percona-server-common-5.7\_5.7.19-17-1.xenial\_amd64.deb

Then install the \*server package, it will require more dependencies so run the last command below.  
dpkg -i percona-server-server-5.7\_5.7.19-17-1.xenial\_amd64.deb  
apt-get -f install
