I have installed mysql 8.0 percona server on amazon linux 2 many of times in the past. But today when I try and install the percona-release tool I get this error: Loaded plugins: extras\_suggestions, langpacks, priorities, update-motd percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm | 20 kB 00:00:00 Examining /var/tmp/yum-root-435dAU/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm: percona-release-1.0-27.noarch /var/tmp/yum-root-435dAU/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm: does not update installed package. Error: Nothing to do Not sure what happened here, is anyone else running into this type of problem? ---

@Anand_Siva > **[Percona Distribution for MySQL - Components](https://docs.percona.com/percona-distribution-for-mysql/innovation-release/components.html)** > > Percona Distribution for MySQL consists of the following components: “percona distribution for mysql” is percona mysql + extra addons that we certify and support. “percona server for mysql” is just percona mysql, nothing extra, just the base.
