Hi,

I am getting this error when I install percona release on debian focal. Here are the steps that lead to this error: W: Repository is broken: percona-release:amd64 (= 1.0-27.generic) has no Size information

  1. curl -O https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_latest.generic_all.deb
  2. apt install -y gnupg2 lsb-release ./percona-release_latest.generic_all.deb

Should I be concerned?

Thanks

Hi Gabe,

Could you provide an output of the next command?

apt list --installed | egrep 'gnupg2|lsb-release|percona'

e.g.

Here you go:

apt list --installed | egrep 'gnupg2|lsb-release|percona'

So it’s already installed and percona repos are enabled.

Yes, everything installed and here are the enabled percona repos:

apt-cache policy | grep -i percona
 500 http://repo.percona.com/ps-80/apt focal/main amd64 Packages
     release v=1.0,o=Percona Development Team,n=focal,l=percona,c=main,b=amd64
     origin repo.percona.com
 500 http://repo.percona.com/prel/apt focal/main amd64 Packages
     release v=1.0,o=Percona Development Team,a=stable,n=focal,l=percona,c=main,b=amd64
     origin repo.percona.com

I just want to make sure the warning about the repository being broken is not a concern before I continue.

Thanks

Hi Gabe,

As repos were successfully enabled by the script, you may ignore the warning.
BTW apt provides flag AllowUnsizedPackages to disable the warning.
