Bug Description

This is fairly minor, I think, but under Ubuntu 14.04 / Trusty, these instructions do not work:

From here:
http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/5.5/installation/apt_repo.html

"Following command will install Cluster packages:
$ sudo apt-get install percona-xtradb-cluster-55"

Here's what happens:
root@server:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt-get install percona-xtradb-cluster-55
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 percona-xtradb-cluster-55 : Depends: percona-xtradb-cluster-galera-2 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

This one also fails:
root@server:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt-get install percona-xtradb-cluster-full-55

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 percona-xtradb-cluster-full-55 : Depends: percona-xtradb-cluster-galera-2 but it is not going to be installed
                                  Depends: percona-xtradb-cluster-galera2-dbg but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

And finally, there is a mixup on the doc page with respect to the "full" package. Both of these packages are mentioned as possible installation options, but only one of them is valid (the first one).

percona-xtradb-cluster-full-55
percona-xtradb-cluster-55-full

This is the actual command line to do the installation:
# apt-get install percona-xtradb-cluster-55 percona-xtradb-cluster-galera-2.x

Yes, seems it was not updated in another place.

It was added only here http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/5.5/installation.html#deb-based-systems

and yes, percona-xtradb-cluster-55-full is indeed invalid.
