Hi,
I know 2.4 is old, but since some of my systems are RHEL4-based, yum
2.4.3 is the newest version I can use.
I encountered a file conflict resolution problem. To be precise, yum
didn't detect a conflict when it should have done so.
Here's my system :
RHEL4
python-2.3.4-14.2
rpm-4.3.3-18_nonptl
sqlite-2.8.16-1.2.el4.rf
python-sqlite-1.0.1-1.2.el4.rf
yum-2.4.3-5.el4.fan
mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1
I wanted to replace redhat's mysql with mysql.com's. Some of the systems
need to replace both client and server, others just needs the client. On
the ones where I replace both client and server, things are working as
expected.
# rpm -qp --provides MySQL-server-5.0.27-0.glibc23.i386.rpm
MySQL
config(MySQL-server) = 5.0.27-0.glibc23
msqlormysql
mysql
mysql-server
MySQL-server = 5.0.27-0.glibc23
# rpm -qp --obsoletes MySQL-server-5.0.27-0.glibc23.i386.rpm
MySQL
mysql
mysql-server
Mysql's rpm obsoletes redhat's, so when I installed MySQL's
MySQL-server, client, shared, and shared-compat, and devel, yum
correctly removes redhat's mysql, mysql-server, and mysql-devel.
HOWEVER
if I install just the client
# rpm -qp --provides MySQL-client-5.0.27-0.glibc23.i386.rpm
mysql-client
MySQL-client = 5.0.27-0.glibc23
# rpm -qp --obsoletes MySQL-client-5.0.27-0.glibc23.i386.rpm
mysql-client
# rpm -qlp MySQL-client-5.0.27-0.glibc23.i386.rpm
/usr/bin/msql2mysql
/usr/bin/mysql
(output truncated)
# rpm -ql mysql
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/mysql-i386.conf
/etc/my.cnf
/usr/bin/msql2mysql
/usr/bin/mysql
(output truncated)
As you can see, MySQL-client SHOULD conflict with redhat's mysql, since
both provide the same files. rpm -ivh / rpm -Uvh tells me so.
#rpm -Uvh MySQL-client-5.0.27-0.glibc23.i386.rpm

Something is definitely wrong here.
