I was aware of the 64 bit and 32 bit versions, but any yum'ing
whatsoever fails now with a conflict from an existing installed version
why would a yum clean and rebuilddb not be the best way to fix rpm
errors, certainly this has been the methods I have succesffully employed
for many years....
If there is a better way then let me know...
It seems that yum is not able to update existing packages anymore and
tries to install newer rpms along side the old ones....
Here is a sample out put of "yum install mysql-server"
Install: mysql-server.x86_64 0:4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1 - base
Performing the following to resolve dependencies:
Update: mysql.x86_64 0:4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1 - base
Total download size: 9.9 M
Downloading Packages:
Running Transaction Test
Finished Transaction Test
Transaction Check Error: file /usr/bin/mysqldumpslow from install of
mysql-4.1
.12-3.RHEL4.1 conflicts with file from package mysql-4.1.10a-2.RHEL4.1
file /usr/share/info/mysql.info.gz from install of
mysql-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1 conf
licts with file from package mysql-4.1.10a-2.RHEL4.1
file /usr/share/man/man1/mysql.1.gz from install of
mysql-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1 con
flicts with file from package mysql-4.1.10a-2.RHEL4.1
etc etc
