I don't think this is a bug, so much as it has to do with upgrading from mysql 3.x to 4.x and going from using the RH rpms to the "official" MySQL rpms. There is a very nice tutorial on how to upgrade to mysql 4 located at http://fedoranews.org/contributors/tony_smith/mysql/ This will require you to rebuild the perl-DBD-MySQL rpm, and php if you plan to use them to talk to your mysql server. This is NOT a bug in yum, but simply a set of packages that the repository likely doesn't provide. I've been able to upgrade without problem. Side note. MySQL-Max is an additional feature set to the mysql server, but is not the server itself. There is a decent breakdown of the packages built here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Linux-RPM.html If anyone has trouble getting this to work, I am available off-list, since this really doesn't strike me as yum related.
