Hi,

I am unable to install Percona MySQL 5.7.x software “Client, Common, etc” on Debian 10 buster.

I have used these command a bunch of times on different servers, but now this is failing?

apt install gnupg2  
wget [https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release\_latest.$](https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_latest.%24)(lsb\_release -sc)\_all.deb  
dpkg -i percona-release\_latest.$(lsb\_release -sc)\_all.deb  
apt update  
apt-ge install percona-server-common-5.7 percona-server-client-5.7

percona-release show  
The following repositories are enabled on your system:  
\<\*\> All done!

dpkg -l | grep -i mysql  
ii mysql-common 5.8+1.0.5 all MySQL database common files, e.g. /etc/mysql/my.cnf  
ii php7.3-mysql 7.3.33-1+0~20211119.91+debian10~1.gbp618351 amd64 MySQL module for PHP

percona-release setup ps80  
Specified repository does not exist: [Percona Repo](http://repo.percona.com/ps-80/)

Hi @jbiancot , welcome back to the Percona forums!

I’m not on a debian 10 installation but perhaps you could try the command `percona-release setup ps-80` (note the hypen)

Hi @jbiancot  
I tried to reproduce your issue but without success. Everything works well and I installed requested packages.  
Most probably it is because there is a typo in one of your commands `apt-ge` instead of `apt-get`  
please try `apt-get install percona-server-common-5.7 percona-server-client-5.7`  
also `percona-release setup ps80` works as expected

```auto
vagrant@debian-10:~$ sudo percona-release setup ps80

Hi, I have another Debian 10 VM, it’s weird. I am still having the same issue

I changed the /etc/apt/sources.list to use on the VM I have the issues, withthe sources.list from the VM I don’t have the issue, and I changed from http to https

deb [Index of /debian](https://deb.debian.org/debian/) buster main  
deb-src [Index of /debian](https://deb.debian.org/debian/) buster main

deb [Index of /debian-security](https://security.debian.org/debian-security) buster/updates main contrib  
deb-src [Index of /debian-security](https://security.debian.org/debian-security) buster/updates main contrib

# buster-updates, previously known as ‘volatile’

deb [Index of /debian](https://deb.debian.org/debian/) buster-updates main contrib  
deb-src [Index of /debian](https://deb.debian.org/debian/) buster-updates main contrib

But even with that, I am still getting issues:

I tried with:

percona-release\_1.0-25.generic\_all.deb  
percona-release\_1.0-26.generic\_all.deb  
percona-release\_1.0-27.generic\_all.deb, which is latest

Preparing to unpack percona-release\_1.0-26.generic\_all.deb …  
Unpacking percona-release (1.0-26.generic) over (1.0-27.generic) …  
Setting up percona-release (1.0-26.generic) …  
Specified repository does not exist: [Percona Repo](http://repo.percona.com/percona/)  
Specified repository does not exist: [Percona Repo](http://repo.percona.com/prel/)

The repository does not exist???  
If I open those 2link using Firefox, I have not problem reaching those URLs.

One thing I notice, the warning/error is about http:// but if I try manually from the server, https:// it could be reach

Any ideas why using the same Debian 10, and the same sources (APT) file, I will get different results?

Cheers,
