Should it not be possible to directly switch from MySQL-Community release to Percona?
See attached
Ultimately the problem is that Percona-Server-shared-57-5.7.17-13.1.el6.x86_64 does not correctly replace mysql-community-libs-5.7.17-1.el6.x86_64
file /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.20.3.4 from install of Percona-Server-shared-57-5.7.17-13.1.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mysql-community-libs-5.7.17-1.el6.x86_64
If I remove mysql-community-libs-5.7.17-1.el6.x86_64 with --nodeps then Percona installs correctly (with Percona-Server-shared-compat)
