Hi,

we use Percona Server 5.5 and 5.7 for our Ubuntu 18.04 systems.  
Currently we are preparing our Ansible Deployment for 20.04 but there is no Repo for Percona 5.5 and 5.7 for 20.04 yet ( or I didn’t find it)

Using the 18.04 repo in 20.04 fails because of libreadline dependencies.

Will there be releases for 20.04 or do we have to go with Percona 8.0 ?

Hmm, this is so unfortunate. We have a bit of a bit container for testing which includes Percona 5.7 and would like to add 20.04 so we can prepare for upgrades, unfortunately this seems impossible at the moment ☹

Hi.&nbsp;  
Percona-Server-5.7 packages are available for Ubuntu 20.04.  
Here is one of the packages:&nbsp;[https://repo.percona.com/apt/pool/main/p/percona-server-5.7/percona-server-server-5.7\_5.7.29-32-1.focal\_amd64.deb](https://repo.percona.com/apt/pool/main/p/percona-server-5.7/percona-server-server-5.7_5.7.29-32-1.focal_amd64.deb)  
  
In order to get this packages for your system you should install percona-release package, enable `original` repository(it is enabled by default after the installation) and you will be able to install Percona-Server-5.7 packages.  
  
wget&nbsp;[https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release\_latest.focal\_all.deb](https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_latest.focal_all.deb)  
sudo dpkg -i percona-release\_latest.focal\_all.deb  
sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get install percona-server-server-5.7  
  
As for Percona-Server-5.5 it is EOL that is why there are no packages for Ubuntu 20.04

Is there any plan to release a 5.6 install for Ubuntu 20.04?

I am trying out Percona on Ubuntu 20.04 but run into similar issues…

The file libgalera\_smm.so is missing - tried to search for it. But its not there.  
I have followed several guides - including the one mentioned here.

[https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/8.0/installation/apt\_repo.html](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/8.0/installation/apt_repo.html)

A lot of the guides refer to apt-get install percona-xtradb-cluster - but this is not available in the added percona repository… only the Percona-server-server.

But no matter what I tried to install - the file is still missing and the rest of the documentation will fail for me.

Hi @staun

Once you install percona-release package you need to enable PXC repo using percona-release script  
please execute the following command  
`sudo percona-release setup pxc-80`

Once it is done you would be able to install Percona-XtraDB-Cluster using apt

Thank you very much - that did the trick and I can now install the cluster-version…

I am getting same issue

```auto
apt-get install percona-server-server-5.7
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package percona-server-server-5.7 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  percona-xtradb-cluster-server

E: Package 'percona-server-server-5.7' has no installation candidate

```

both commands are also not working

```auto
percona-release setup pxc-80
percona-release setup ps80

```

i am using Ubuntu 20.04

@Ganesh_Kandu  
If you need to install Percona-Server for MySQL 5.7  
you need to enable repofor it  
sudo percona-release setup ps-57  
only after that you should run sudo apt install percona-server-server-5.7
