Hi,

Following steps to install e configure agents, have had this error:

first and before error, i did:  
\> root@9e8e067728eb:/# percona-release setup pbm

> ```
> * Disabling all Percona Repositories

> Add "PBM" repository to REPOSITORIES="" variable in /etc/default/percona-release file and re-run

After that, and created file “percona-release”

```
   > root@9e8e067728eb:/# echo REPOSITORIES=\"PBM\">>/etc/default/percona-release

```

> ```
> root@9e8e067728eb:/# cat /etc/default/percona-release

Note : Err:11 h t t p ://repo.percona.com/PBM/apt focal Release , does not exist, and if i replace “PBM” for “pbm” link exists now, but how i do that in the process, because if i change on the “/etc/default/percona-release” , continue wrong,

for example:

> root@9e8e067728eb:/# rm /etc/default/percona-release  
> rm: cannot remove ‘/etc/default/percona-release’: No such file or directory  
> root@9e8e067728eb:/# echo REPOSITORIES="pbm"\>\>/etc/default/percona-release  
> root@9e8e067728eb:/# cat /etc/default/percona-release  
> REPOSITORIES=“pbm”  
> root@9e8e067728eb:/# percona-release setup pbm
> 
> - Disabling all Percona Repositories  
> ERROR: Selected product uses “PBM” repositories. But the “PBM” repository is disabled  
> Add “PBM” repository to REPOSITORIES=“” variable in /etc/default/percona-release file and re-run the script

Hello, you shouldn’t have to edit files manually. After installing percona-release package run:

```auto
percona-release setup tools

```

that should enable the repo where pbm lives and fix any issues
