Hello, I have found out that on Ubuntu 18.04, the package: ```auto percona-xtradb-cluster-server-5.7 ``` is missing the Key Vault plugin binary ```auto keyring_vault.so ``` . This happens installing either ```auto percona-release_0.1-6.bionic_all.deb ``` or ```auto percona-release_0.1-5.bionic_all.deb ``` The same packages on an Ubuntu 16.04 install said plugin. If I go on “regular” [Percona Server download wizard](https://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-5.7/), the suggested [percona-server-server-5.7\_5.7.21-21-3.bionic\_amd64.deb](https://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-5.7/Percona-Server-5.7.21-21/binary/debian/bionic/x86_64/percona-server-server-5.7_5.7.21-21-3.bionic_amd64.deb) comes with that plugin. Needless to say, if I extract ```auto keyring_vault.so ``` from that regular Percona Server package and copy it into the PXC plugins directory, when I try restarting the server I get all sorts of typical errors due to mismatching binary versions. In fact, even apt updating the packages, the PXC mysqld version stays as follows: ```auto mysqld Ver 5.7.20-18-18 for debian-linux-gnu on x86_64 (Percona XtraDB Cluster (GPL), Release rel18, Revision e19a6b7, WSREP version 29.24, wsrep_29.24) ``` whereas the regular Percona Server Package installs 5.7.21-21-3. What can I do to get a functional key vault plugin in my PXC? ---

Hi dfumagalli, seems to me you have installed PXC from Ubuntu repository and there keyring\_vault.so is not shipped as I see here: [url][Ubuntu – Error](https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/percona-xtradb-cluster-server-5.7/filelist%5B/url%5D) The thing is Percona still didn’t publish packages for PXC 5.7 on Ubuntu Bionic (you can check that on downloads page ([url][https://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-LATEST/[/url]](https://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-LATEST/%5B/url%5D)) and that’s why your version doesn’t get upgraded to 5.7.21 (no packages). Also I see you’re trying to mix plugins from PS to PXC which I wouldn’t recommend. IMHO just wait for Percona to release proper packages for Ubuntu Bionic, although not sure why the ones from Ubuntu repository not include keyring\_vault.so plugin (maybe a bug in the build). ---

Hello tplavcic, The need to install Percona PXC came from a task I have been assigned, that is setup an enterprise infrastructure from zero, including HA database servers. I am not in a hurry, as the data warehouse needs to be ready in 6 months, but I thought it’d be good to deploy Ubuntu 18.04. By 6 months it’ll be stable enough and 18.04 compatible PXC should be as well. I installed the Percona repositories by following the Percona instructions at: [Configuring Percona Repository on Debian and Ubuntu](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-repo-config/apt-repo.html). Therefore, the repository should be Percona’s. I did not find Ubuntu 18.04 as one of the possible targets in the download page, but [your repo](https://repo.percona.com/apt/) has two “Bionic” deb packages (percona-release\_0.1-5.bionic\_all.deb / percona-release\_0.1-6.bionic\_all.deb) that include both PS and PXC. Having PXC shipped together with Ubuntu 18.04 compliant PS (same meta-package), gives the impression PXC is compliant as well. Now, I did not have extensive time to double check if PXC worked perfectly on Ubuntu 18.04. The basics (SST and basically everything I checked) looked allright, the only problem is the lack of vault plugin, which I need to use in order to help with GDPR compliance. ---

The instructions should be ok - the thing is Percona Bionic repo is in place and has some packages (other products) inside, just not PXC yet. Another thing I want to make sure you are aware is that keyring\_vault.so plugin is not GA yet in PXC (it is in beta) - it will probably be GA in one of incoming releases so make sure to check blogpost and documentation updates.
