Error when installing 5.6.16-64.2 on Ubuntu

[Alexey Kopytov]

I'm trying to install Percona Server 5.6.16-64.2 on Ubuntu. 'apt-get install percona-server-5.6 percona-client-5.6' fails with the following error:

Current workaround is to remove (not purge) the upstream version first.

This is easy to confirm:

This is regression from this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-server/+bug/907499
There's some discussion and resolution there.

[Laurynas Biveinis (laurynas-biveinis)]

Tomislav, the bug is in Fix Released and linked to the 5.6.17-65.0 release branch, but the milestone was removed. Should it be set?

[Tomislav Plavcic (tplavcic)]

Yes, please if you can - if not I'll tell Hrvoje to change that - it was linked to some future milestone, but the correct one is 5.6.17-65.0 (I cannot set that because it's locked and I forgot to ping someone who can change that).

Hi,

What is the status of this? I have 5.6.21-69.0-675.wheezy and I found it by googling kde percona, as you may guess, I can not install both kde and percona on Debian Wheezy. Looking at akonadi-backend-mysql it shows Depends: mysql-server-core-5.5 | mysql-server-core.

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  percona-server-server-5.6
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  akonadi-backend-mysql akonadi-server mysql-server-core-5.5

Daniel -

unless I'm missing something, your issue seems to be unrelated to the one of this bug. Can you please file a new bug?

Percona now uses JIRA for bug reports so this bug report is migrated to: https://jira.percona.com/browse/PS-777
