When installing percona-release\_latest.noble\_all.deb on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (“noble”), the enable command hangs because the script always uses HTTP to contact [repo.percona.com](http://repo.percona.com) instead of HTTPS.

Environment  
OS: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (noble)  
percona-release version: 1.0-31.generic  
Architecture: amd64

Reproduction steps

1. Download package:  
wget [https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release\_latest.$(lsb\_release](https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_latest.$(lsb_release) -sc)\_all.deb

2. Install with dpkg:  
sudo dpkg -i percona-release\_latest.$(lsb\_release -sc)\_all.deb

3. Attempt to enable “prel” repository:  
sudo percona-release enable prel release

4. Script hangs at this point, always calling HTTP:  
++ curl -s [http://repo.percona.com](http://repo.percona.com)

Observed behavior  
The process waits indefinitely on curl [http://repo.percona.com](http://repo.percona.com). Interrupting with Ctrl-C causes post-install to fail.

Expected behavior  
The script should honor --scheme https or URL=“[https://repo.percona.com](https://repo.percona.com)” in /etc/default/percona-release and use HTTPS by default on recent distributions.

What I’ve tried  
• Passing --scheme https (flag not recognized)  
• Setting URL=“[https://repo.percona.com](https://repo.percona.com)” in /etc/default/percona-release (still uses HTTP)  
• Forcing CURL\_EXEC=(/usr/bin/curl “–proto” “=https”) (no effect)

Question  
Has anyone encountered this? Is there a workaround or planned fix to support HTTPS natively on Ubuntu “noble”?

Hi @Gabriel_Lopes , thanks so much for reporting this issue and providing all the details!

We’ve seen a similar problem before, especially when connections need to go through a proxy. One workaround is to explicitly add `--scheme https` When enabling the repository, like this:

```auto
sudo percona-release --scheme https enable psmdb-70 release 

```

Alternatively, you can manually update `/usr/bin/percona-release` to use `https` instead of `http` If the above doesn’t work.

Let us know if this helps or if you run into any other issues.

The flag _ **–scheme** _ have to be used at the end of the command.  
It was missed to add a description of usage the flag. It will be done in the next release.
