@Skaag: thanks for your comment. It saved me big time so I thought I should expand on your point a little by writing out the steps. I had already messed my installation up as you stated above, and eventually succeeded in getting things right by doing this:

apt-get remove percona-server-server
apt-get remove mysql-server-core-5.1 mysql-client-core-5.1
apt-get install percona-server-server

Easy enough.

If you run Ubuntu Lucid, make sure you do the following BEFORE you install the Percona binaries;

apt-get remove mysql-server-core-5.1 mysql-client-core-5.1

If you don’t do this you will end up with a broken install of the percona client/server, since there is a conflict with man pages.
If you already started, and find yourself in a pickle, use aptitude to remove the percona binaries as well as the above binaries.
This will clear everything nicely and you can try again to install the percona binaries, this time without any errors/warnings.

Sean,

I think your problem is linked to the following bug report :

https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-xtradb/+bug/539190 as stated by Aleksandr

We have the same issue here with Debian Lenny..

On Debian the new package name is causing dependency issues. Example, after installing the percona-xtradb* packages when I try to install maatkit I am told that all of the percon-* packages will be Removed and replaced with mysql-* pacakges.

Aleksandr,

That’s good enough, if not better than supporting it yourself. Wasn’t aware that would work. I’ll give this a whirl when I get back to that server. Thanks for the tip!

Peter,

There is MySQL-shared-compat in our repo. it provides .12.so – .16.so:

MySQL-shared-compat.x86_64 : MySQL shared client libraries for MySQL 5.1.40, 5.0.87, 4.1.22 and 4.0.26

Aleksandr,

Many dependencies may break if you install MySQL 5.1 (or percona versions) on CentOS 5 as there is a lot of software which is linked to libmysqlclient15.so I think we just need to have shared-compat package which will include 15.so (at least) or may be even 14.so

Jeffrey,

We are not planning to add php-mysql to the Percona repo due to lack of resources.
You can easily install it with MySQL-shared-compat-5.1.40-2 package.
I.e. once you installed Percona-XtraDB-server and Percona-XtraDB-client, install MySQL-shared-compat-5.1.40-2.
Then “yum install php-mysql” will work.
