Hi guys, I’ve recently installed a new Percona Mysql XtraDB Cluster but there seems to be no package which provides `mysql_config_editor` These are the enabled repos ```code > percona-release show The following repositories are enabled on your system: prel - release pxc-84-lts - release telemetry - release <\*> All done! ``` These are the installed packages on the system ```auto > dpkg -l | grep -i percon hi libperconaserverclient22:amd64 1:8.4.8-8-1.noble amd64 Percona XtraDB Cluster database client library hi libperconaserverclient22-dev 1:8.4.8-8-1.noble amd64 Percona XtraDB Cluster database development files ii percona-release 1.0-32.generic all Package to install Percona gpg key and APT repos ii percona-telemetry-agent 1.0.11-1.noble amd64 Percona Telemetry Agent gathers information and metrics from Percona products installed on the host. ii percona-toolkit 3.2.1-1 all Command-line tools for MySQL and system tasks ii percona-xtrabackup 8.0.35-30-0ubuntu5 amd64 Open source backup tool for InnoDB and XtraDB hi percona-xtradb-cluster 1:8.4.8-8-1.noble amd64 Percona XtraDB Cluster with Galera hi percona-xtradb-cluster-client 1:8.4.8-8-1.noble amd64 Percona XtraDB Cluster database client binaries hi percona-xtradb-cluster-common 1:8.4.8-8-1.noble amd64 Percona XtraDB Cluster database common files (e.g. /etc/mysql/my.cnf) hi percona-xtradb-cluster-server 1:8.4.8-8-1.noble amd64 Percona XtraDB Cluster database server binaries ``` I was expecting to find `libperconaserverclient24` as it happens on `ps-84-lts` but instead I only found the old `libperconaserverclient22` ```code > apt search libpercona* Sorting... Done Full Text Search... Done libperconaserverclient22/stable,now 1:8.4.8-8-1.noble amd64 [installed] Percona XtraDB Cluster database client library libperconaserverclient22-dev/stable,now 1:8.4.8-8-1.noble amd64 [installed] Percona XtraDB Cluster database development files ``` After installation, I usually set the root password using `mysql_config_editor`, but it wasn’t installed, so I looked for which package in the Percona repositories provided that binary, and to my surprise, there was none! ```code > apt-file update && apt-file search mysql_config_editor mysql-client-core-8.0: /usr/bin/mysql_config_editor # incompatible with percona!!

This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

mysql\_config\_editor is a part of libperconaserverclient22-dev. I could see this package is available in 8.4.7 whereas it is missing in current version 8.4.8. Are you able to report it to our JIRA platform?

I’ve just updated to Percona XtraDB Cluster 8.4.10 but there’s no matching libperconaserverclient24 available in the APT repo. Is this expected? ---

Hi Steffen, Fixed `libperconaserverclient24` packages have been added to the repositories.
