I have been working on packaging up 1.6.5 but this will likely go into testing at some point and not be available in stable until buster.

In the meantime, you can grab a 1.6.5 package from MySQL directly here: https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/get/file/mysql-utilities_1.6.5-1debian8_all.deb It looks like the docs were never updated, but the package exists. It is listed for "jessie" but it should work on "stretch" without any issues. One other thing to note. While I was debugging this issue, I noticed the following warning on the MySQL downloads page. "Per Oracle's Lifetime Support policy[1], as of May 30, 2018, MySQL Utilities is covered under Oracle Sustaining Support. Users are encouraged to migrate to MySQL Shell[2]." It sounds like 1.6.5 will be the last release of this software. From my brief inspection MySQL shell does not really do many of the things that mysql-utilities does out of the box so it is not exactly a "drop in" replacement.
