As per the suggestion of this documentation of cpanel
[URL=“https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+to+Replace+MySQL+with+Percona”]https://documentation.cpanel.net/dis...L+with+Percona[/URL]

I tried doing the same
ln -sv /usr/lib64/libperconaserverclient.so /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so

In your case install libperconaserverclient18.1-dev, please try it out and let us know.

The solution was as stated:
sudo apt-get install libperconaserverclient18.1-dev
