percona-xtrabdb-cluster-server and percona-xtrabackup-21 dependency issue

[Frederic Descamps]

When percona-xtrabackup-21 is installed (2.1.9) , percona-xtrabdb-cluster-server-55 cannot be installed
without removing that package and install percona-xtrabackup (2.2.3)

>2.1.6 is supported so it should not fail.

This is using yum on CentOS.

[Raghavendra D Prabhu (raghavendra-prabhu)]

Is there a reason/bug why percona-xtrabackup 2.1.x may be required? Otherwise
latest PXB is strongly recommended for use with PXC.

[Frederic Descamps (lefred)]

No other reason then customer didn't test it and approved it. Or customer
wants to just add a new node in his existing environment before upgrading
later. Percona XtraDB Cluster server-55 says it needs xtrabackup > 2.1.6...
so it should be possible to use 2.1.9 without any problem isn't it ?

If not update the package description and add it in the documentation ;)

[Raghavendra D Prabhu (raghavendra-prabhu)]

I understand the issue, the problem is

2.1 RPM provides xtrabackup (and percona-xtrabackup)
2.1 debian provides xtrabackup (and percona-xtrabackup)

2.2 RPM provides percona-xtrabackup
2.2 debian provides xtrabackup and percona-xtrabackup

This inconsistency needs to be fixed, so I can mark the dependency on xtrabackup
(based on virtual package) than percona-xtrabackup.

Able to reproduce the same.

[Krunal Bauskar (krunal-bauskar)]

It is recommended to upgrade to 5.6. This issue seems to be with 5.5.

[EvgeniyPatlan (evgeniy-patlan)]

As 5.5 is not in development any more the best choice(as Krunal mentioned) is to update to 5.6 or 5.7 where the issue doesn't exists.

[Ville Ojamo (ville-ojamo)]

Similar bug affects also Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.6 when percona-xtrabackup-24 is installed.

The update of Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.6 fails if percona-xtrabackup-24 is installed:
"
Error: percona-xtrabackup-24 conflicts with percona-xtrabackup-2.3.8-1.el6.x86_64
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
1:Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-server-56-5.6.35-26.20.3.el6.x86_64 has missing requires of percona-xtrabackup >= ('0', '2.2.5', None)
"

Workaround is to remove percona-xtrabackup-24 and install percona-xtrabackup, then update, and afterwards re-install percona-xtrabackup-24.
