CentOS release 6.5 (Final)

It appears that the plugin is only in the XtraDB packages for version 5.6

Confirmed as described on CentOS 6.5. These files were also missing in PS 5.6.14.

Getting the same bug in Ubuntu, note that binaries came from experimental repository.

I will try to test this again as soon as official binaries are released.

Only affects PS version 5.6.16-64.01 from experimental repo as stated on #4.

Can't reproduce on Official repos for PS 5.6.16 for CentOS 6.x.

Percona now uses JIRA for bug reports so this bug report is migrated to: https://jira.percona.com/browse/PS-753
