I got the RPMs uninstalled by specifying the full RPM spec, and using --nodeps: # rpm -e --nodeps mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1.x86_64 mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1.i386 # rpm -e mysql-server-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1.x86_64 # rpm -ivh mysql-server-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1.x86_64.rpm mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1.x86_64.rpm > Now, before doing anything drastic.

Also, it'd be > interesting to see output of "ls -lZd / /var /var/lib /var/lib/mysql". According to the /etc/selinux/config file, selinux is disabled. This is confirmed by getenforce. /var/log/messages shows little of interest: Oct 31 12:45:40 urquell2 mysqld: Initializing MySQL database: succeeded Oct 31 12:46:11 urquell2 mysqld: Starting MySQL: failed And the Z switch is obviously for selinux, so I'm not sure how interesting this is, but: [root@urquell2 ~]# ls -ld / /var /var/lib /var/lib/mysql drwxrwx--- 32 cvs 500 4096 Oct 30 16:40 / drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Oct 13 06:57 /var drwxr-xr-x 30 root root 4096 Oct 31 13:00 /var/lib drwxr-xr-x 4 mysql mysql 4096 Oct 31 13:00 /var/lib/mysql > > -- > NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby notified > that by reading this message you agreed not to disturb frogs during > mating season.
