Yes, As I’ve mentioned before there was a packages conflict in for writing in ‘/usr/share/man/man1/mysqlman.1.gz’  
I’ve solved this problem by “–force-overwrite”  
[PHP]sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::=“–force-overwrite” install percona-xtradb-cluster-57[/PHP]

Yes, I think so, the vestacp may installed it before. By the way being mysql-client installed or not is something PXC installation process must check it before installing anything.  
Please tell the team to check it, Can they install PXC on a [vestacp](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-vestacp-and-migrate-user-data) server?

Now phpMyAdmin shows me I’m using Percona Server, So I don’t think I’m using MySQL anymore, Is there any way to fix this single node and use it again? for example by using:  
[PHP]SET GLOBAL pxc\_strict\_mode=MASTER;[/PHP]

I fixed the AppArmor issue by this commands:

```auto
sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld /etc/apparmor.d/disable/

sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld

```

Only disabling MySQL profile is better than removing the whole AppArmor which was mentioned in PXC’s installation tutorial!
