ERROR on apt --fix-broken install : trying to overwrite ...

Hi All - I am new to Percona / Ubuntu, having been required to change from Centos for other reasons. After carefully folloing the Centos install and configure I had no issues.

I am working with Ubuntu 16.04 latest updates.

I am struggling to achieve install of xtradb xluster, and keep cycling around the apt-get install / uninstall and apt --fix-broken install.

I get : ERROR on apt --fix-broken install : trying to overwrite ‘/usr/share/mysql/bulgarian/errmsg.sys’,

The install bombed out at this point:

Unpacking percona-xtradb-cluster-full-57 (5.7.25-31.35-1.bionic) …
Errors were encountered while processing:
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-yw7Fvv/0-percona-xtradb-cluster-server-5.7_5.7.25-31.35-1.bionic_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I then ran a remove:

You might want to run ‘apt --fix-broken install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.

This is the third server with a clean install of the OS that I have tried, they all end up with a similar result which is where the apt --fix-broken install ends up failing to overwrite a shared file.

I would really appreciate some help with this one.

Many thanks
