Hello,

The package perl-TermReadKey is provided by epel: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

So having epel installed is a requirement for percona-toolkit. This bug should be swithed to a documentation bug, so that it's clear than epel is a prerequisite for the installation of percona-toolkit.

Percona now uses JIRA for bug reports so this bug report is migrated to: https://jira.percona.com/browse/PT-288
