Bug Description
[In:Percona Server Documentation]
This is more for the apt repository section. While using apt-get to install packages from repo.percona.com, I have occasionally had to fight with dependencies being satisfied by the stock ubuntu packages rather than the Percona ones (esp. in the case where I am using the oneiric (11.10) packages with a precise (12.04) beta installation, probably not a completely supported configuration). To work around this, I have started using repository pinning to help tip the scales in favor of the Percona packages.
cat /etc/apt/
Package: *
Pin: release o=Percona Development Team
Pin-Priority: 1001
It might save someone else problems if this were identified as a possible work around.
