Trying to install Percona XtraDB Cluster 8.0 from the install page ( [Install Percona XtraDB Cluster on Debian or Ubuntu - Percona XtraDB Cluster](https://docs.percona.com/percona-xtradb-cluster/8.0/apt.html) ) now results in this error;

This was working last week, but now comes on installation ( Ubuntu 24.04.4 and other versions ) on several different machines. Is there a work around available, I’ve tried enabling other repositories but same issue.

Hi Ken,

We are working on the issue.  
Please disable tools repo.  
`percona-release disable tools`

Thank you.

I have the same problem at ubuntu 22.04.  
I’ve install percona-release[[Install percona-release - Percona Software Repositories](https://docs.percona.com/percona-software-repositories/installing.html)] and setted up necessary versions of package `sudo percona-release setup ps80`.  
After it when i did `apt install percona-server-server percona-server-client percona-toolkit percona-xtrabackup-80 python3-mysqldb` i got error

```auto
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libdbd-mysql-perl : Depends: libperconaserverclient22 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

```

That tied with `libperconaserverclient22` package provided only at repository with percona 84([DEB package list - Percona Server for MySQL](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.4/apt-files.html)). But how to install percona-toolkit with activated ps80 repo i still didn’t find out.

Hi @routine925  
Please disable tools and enable pxb-80 repo.  
`percona-release disable tools`  
`percona-release enable pxb-80`

hey @routine925  
It is permanent solution as tools repo is deprecated for several years already and we are going to move to archive
