I am trying to install percona-xtradb-cluster\_8.0.34-26-1 but it is failing with qpress dependency.  
Is there a way to install qpress without installing percona-release and enabling tools.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:  
percona-xtradb-cluster-server : Depends: qpress but it is not installable  
[ERROR] stderr: Running scope as unit: run-rfe435202f75a4bf8a640f0ae060285a1.scope

You can search through [https://repo.percona.com/](https://repo.percona.com/) and find the qpress package to download and install manually. percona-release is the easiest and fastest way. You could install percona-release onto another temp server, get the apt source URL and copy that to your destination machine.
