First I tried the recommended method from repository …

```auto
wget https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_latest.$(lsb_release -sc)_all.deb
--2021-08-12 09:01:48-- https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_latest.hirsute_all.deb
Resolving repo.percona.com (repo.percona.com)... 198.211.122.205, 167.71.73.251

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
2021-08-12 09:01:49 ERROR 404: Not Found.

```

Next I followed the instructions to download the package …

```auto
sudo dpkg -i ./percona-xtrabackup-80_8.0.4-1.stretch_amd64.deb 
Selecting previously unselected package percona-xtrabackup-80.

Hi @JohnShep  
Ubuntu 21.04 is not in the list of supported platforms by Percona that’s why we haven’t created packages for it.  
Here you can find the list of supported platforms: [Percona Release Lifecycle Overview](https://www.percona.com/services/policies/percona-software-support-lifecycle)  
You can try to use binary tarball in order to get it work on Ubuntu 21.04

Hi,

I’m on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS , I’m also getting the same error. Not sure, what’s wrong 🤔 🤔

Hi @Evgeniy_Patlan , please ignore above comment. After some changes, I was able to install XtraBackup 8.0

Thanks for looking into it!
