Hello,
I’m having trouble to upgrade an installation of 5.7.20 to 5.7.21 on a Ubuntu 16.04 system. Upgrade fails with pre-installation script error but I wasn’t able to debug it. After failing to upgrade system asks to execute “apt-get install -f” but this fails also.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
percona-server-server-5.7 : PreDepends: percona-server-common-5.7 (= 5.7.20-19-1.xenial)
Depends: percona-server-client-5.7 (= 5.7.20-19-1.xenial) but 5.7.21-20-1.xenial is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
