The `percona-release` package appears to be missing from the `prel` repository on Debian Trixie. This means the package won’t be updated automatically, and also gets picked up as a package that’s not in a repository, eg with `apt list ?obsolete`.

Eg testing with:

```auto
# curl -s -O https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_latest.generic_all.deb
# apt install ./percona-release_latest.generic_all.deb

```

On Debian Bookworm, percona-release is in the prel repo:

```auto
# apt policy percona-release
percona-release:
  Installed: 1.0-32.generic
  Candidate: 1.0-32.generic
  Version table:
 *** 1.0-32.generic 500
        500 http://repo.percona.com/prel/apt bookworm/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
 ...

```

But on Debian Trixie, it’s missing:

```auto
# apt policy percona-release
percona-release:
  Installed: 1.0-32.generic
  Candidate: 1.0-32.generic
  Version table:
 *** 1.0-32.generic 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

```

Despite the `prel` repository being enabled:

```auto
# percona-release show
The following repositories are enabled on your system:
prel - release
telemetry - release
<*> All done!

```

This can also be seen from browsing the repository web view - eg the Packages file at [https://repo.percona.com/prel/apt/dists/trixie/main/binary-amd64/](https://repo.percona.com/prel/apt/dists/trixie/main/binary-amd64/) has a size of 0, while at [https://repo.percona.com/prel/apt/dists/bookworm/main/binary-amd64/](https://repo.percona.com/prel/apt/dists/bookworm/main/binary-amd64/) it’s non-zero - so Trixie’s prel repository is entirely empty.

Hi @tds ,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! We have now fixed the issue and percona-release package should be available in the prel repository for Debian Trixie.
